The Park Slope Co-Op Is Ravaged, The Gowanus Is Rising, And Other Morning Storm News
Posted by Virginia K. Smith on Mon, Oct 29, 2012 at 10:56 AM
As all of you storm hoarders likely know by now, grocery stores were a mess yesterday, and the Park Slope Co-Op was particularly hard hit — Gothamist reports customers were forced to take a number and retire to a waiting room before even shopping.
Not everyone is deterred, though. Sources tell us at least one CSA — the Lineage Farm CSA in Greenpoint — is sending out "cheerful" messages that pick-ups will continue as planned today.
Things as not as promising for the potential "toxic shitstorm" of the Gowanus (above), whose waters are already rising to dangerous levels. We've compiled a few pictures from citizen/iPhone journalist Alex Shephard of the canal's current state, as well as mild flooding around surrounding streets. Things don't look too promising.
