Time was not so long
ago that Brooklyn’s Gowanus neighborhood was young Al Capone’s stomping ground.
Now the fedoras are,
well, worn ironically.
The man who would be
Scarface apparently hung out at a pool hall on Garfield Place, between Fourth
and Fifth avenues.
Now, 100 years
later, Gowanus will soon be home to those who see sharp shooting not as a gang
activity but FUN !!
Because on Degraw
Street, between Third and Fourth avenues, coming soon (in December!) is:
KICK AXE THROWING!
As in a bar that
doesn’t specialize in something like Capone-esque darts, but the throwing to
targets of genuine wood-chopping, artery-spurting axes. Seriously, what could
go wrong?
Ah, Brooklyn … It
was so nice knowing you.
