I wish them luck, I really do. Redhook was a bleak warehouse area of Brooklyn 30 years ago when my dad was a beat cop there.

I believe area has been used as location for movies,etc. Good to see something being done for a rather bleak area.

I can't think of any movie titles off the top of my head - but I do believe you are correct.
I hope this works, I really do.
I moved out of Brooklyn more than 20 years ago - but still have family and friends there.

Yeah, let's give some Brooklyn goombahs a chance to extort foreigners, loot baggage, steal freight and put buddies who never show up on the payroll. When you buy a case of booze at the duty free and add it to your baggage, do the ship baggage handlers when they steal a bottle out of every case, still put a couple of pieces of broken bottle where the stolen bottle was to suggest that the bottle had broken?
Do the same union locals who work the West River piers also work the Brooklyn docks or are they different locals?

The QE II looks like a proper ship. I'm not sure what the Alien Princess is supposed to be.

Red Hook remains a rather bleak warehouse area with some great views of lower Manhattan.
This should give this section of Brooklyn a financial shot in the arm. It's worked in other coastal cities. Now would be an advantages time to buy in.
Maybe this is the beginning of another version of the South Street Seaport?

You are correct. I was born in Park Slope and grew up in Flatbush.
This should do wonders for Red Hook, and another South Street Seaport type area would be super!

Inside the Queen Mary II
Even a planetarium!
This hallway leads to the Royal Court Theater which offers many productions and has the feel of a Victorian music hall.
