| The on each letter we painted words redolent of Brooklyn's history |
The migrant Hostel of the 50's the Factories and quarry that provide work and then the houses that these migrants built.

| I did this letter and Quarries! |
Today we had the final stage and Launch of the Laneway.
Tony had put the final sealant coating on on Friday, and recounted how he had signs blocking the laneway when suddenly 2 dogs came hurtling along the lane (obviously their usual route) with the owner a few minutes behind. Unfortunately the dogs when sliding along the path and eventually shot off the other end. The owner said "Its looking good" Tony didn't tell him about the sealant!! They ere supposed to be on leads.
