April 25 PM Walk We've done this walk several times as it serves as our "stand by" walk when we have an hour to kill and we want to chance the possibility of meeting up with a couple of dogs at the dog run in Carroll Gardens. But today, unlike the previous days, was fraught with rain and dreariness. Chester hates the rain, but a little coaxing from yours truly and the promise of the possibility of more graffiti vs. street art challenges, Chester made the trip with me. While we approached a warehouse on the southeast corner of 3rd and Bond Streets, we noticed a piece of street art that had been torn halfway off, leaving only the top remaining. Chester was a bit apprehensive about climbing the skinny ladder to the former loading dock to pose in front of where the art was located. However, during his indecisiveness, New York's finest approached and interrogated us about our association with the "installation", our interest in graffiti and whether or not we were the ones who had defaced the building. I merely produced our photographic evidence of art searches and walks around Brooklyn contained on a Sony Cybershot memory stick. He was less than impressed and after taking down our address and name, sent us on your merry way. Happy to be rid of Johnny Law, Chester decided to take care of business right where the police van (not even a cruiser!) had parked. Sweet justice...
