Gentrification should not equal segregation! This is the year 2008, not 1958. What happened to the Red Hook pool? The pool is now blatantly split in half; one side for the original residents and the other, for the privileged newcomers, complete with bleachers and new pool chairs, which are unavailable to the others. Red Hook is a beautiful place. We need change, but it should benefit everyone. Let's stop this racial segregation masked as gentrification. We are all human beings!
Listen up "happy people" , Red Hook is still a very dangerous place! A murder took place just last week! There is more attention that needs to be given to the areas IN Red Hook proper, not around it...IKEA CAN WAIT! Traffic is now ridiculous and dangerous. Traffic lights that were desperately needed in the community were only placed in areas that principally serve Red Hook's new residents, who are the sole beneficiaries of the neighborhood's gentrification. To be continued!
So are they gone, what happened? Please tell me the original vendors are still there. I plan on visiting NY, and I would like to go by the Red Hook vendors!

this is another ny institution that must remain. we have lost the flavor of NY so much that it is no longer the refuge it once was.
