Another Reason Why I Must Live in Clinton Hill

Broken Angel on the corner of Quincy and Downing in Clinton Hill, a few blocks from Pratt is not--as Gothamist laughingly referred to it, a “Brooklyn tenement version of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona (I seriously doubt the writer remembers his visit to the Sagrada Familia). It is pretty damn cool. Arthur Wood bought the building in 1971 (for $2000--ouch!), and has been working on it ever since. Two things I love about the building: viewed from a few blocks away, it resembles an evil factory. It is also located on a dog-legged, not-easy-to-locate street (I found it zig-zagging on my bike). It is also located in the Pratt neighborhood where I hope, g-d willing, to someday make my home.
