June 6th Newtown Creek Newtown Creek Slideshow with Mitch Waxman at Greater Astoria Historical Society

June 6th, Magic Lantern Show at Greater Astoria Historical Society

Metropolitan Avenue Bridge, English Kills – photo by Mitch Waxman

I've neglected to inform you all of the Magic Lantern Show which this, your Newtown Pentacle, is staging at the Greater Astoria Historical Society on Monday, June 6th at 7pm. There won't be any archaic museum pieces in use, of course- my magic lantern is all digital and uses a standard and quite modern projector- but the concept is much the same. A photographer captures some hellish reality from the wild and shadowed corners of the world, and presents them with the intention of revealing hidden truths to a comfortable and otherwise wholesome audience who would never encounter this reality otherwise.

from a Newtown Pentacle post of April 13th, 2011

Just under an hour long, this Magic Lantern Show about Newtown Creek is personally narrated, and transports the viewer to every corner of the Newtown Creek- every tributary and street end, on the water and above it, and is presented in the idiosyncratic and off beat manner which has become familiar to regular readers of this- your Newtown Pentacle. It attempts to explain certain core questions in under an hour which have been repeatedly presented to me over the last couple of years, and the entire talk is illustrated with both my own photography and the product of my historical research:

• What exactly do you mean by the "Newtown Pentacle"?
• When did the Newtown Creek begin to matter?
• Why should I care, how does the Newtown Creek affect me, as I live in Manhattan?
• Where exactly is this place?
• Who is responsible for this mess, and exactly who is it that's going to clean it up?
• How can I get involved and help my community revitalize and or restore the Newtown Creek?

It would probably be "politique" to mention that this is not a Newtown Creek Alliance event, which is one of the many organizations which I've become affiliated and identified with. Instead this is purely a Newtown Pentacle show, which the studied philosophs who inhabit the upper echelons of the Greater Astoria Historical Society are allowing me to present in their convenient location on Astoria's Broadway- stumbling distance from the R,M, and N trains. The efficacy of gambling their precious time and effort upon such a poor specimen as myself would be proven by the event being well attended, and the negligible $5 fee at the door should prove an easy burden for most to bear. Therefore, a narrator humbly invites and requests your support and attendance.

Travel the length and breadth of Americas most polluted waterway, the Newtown Creek, with newtownpentacle.com's Mitch Waxman.

Breathtaking photography illustrates the journey, exploring the various tributaries and discussing the industrial history of New York City's least known waterway.

Witty and irreverent, the narration describes Waxman's own discovery of this place and the fantastic journey it has taken him on.

Question and Answer period follows.

The actual presentation is just over a hour long, and during it, you'll travel the length and breadth of the Newtown Creek- every tributary and bridge, each keystone of historical import will be illustrated with both personal experience and historical meaning. For those of you new to the story of the Newtown Creek (or the neighborhood) this will make a fine primer. Attempts will be made by your humble narrator to reveal this willfully hidden place, and introduce the uninitiated to the hellish flames of revelation which only the Newtown Creek can offer.

The places I go, the things I see… often strain credulity. This is not the world you know, this 3.8 mile long waterway located directly across the East River from Manhattan's Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital which provides the currently undefended border of Brooklyn and Queens. If it can happen, it has happened here, and if it happened here it happened worse and grander than anywhere else it ever happened. Come visit the night soil and offal dock, hear the stories of the great men- Bliss and Kingsland and Flowers and Degnon and Cooper. This is the place where the Industrial Revolution actually happened, where the death of nature itself was accomplished, and our modern world was born.

Welcome to the Newtown Creek, poison heart of the Newtown Pentacle…

Prime Ditmas Park Sunny 2 bedroom/Junior 4

Doorman Building!

HOT SKIP & A JUMP! Here's a junior four right in the heart of it all. This four roomed coop is well-located, very spacious, and currently used as a 2 bedroom. Move right in and start using the open layout, cute, country kitchen. Not a chef but like to host? No problem, the oversized pass-though window will keep you in pace with your guests while you get on with your hosting duties.The large open plan living/dining room faces easterly for light all day and the master bedroom is tucked in the back facing the west for quiet evening sun and sleeping in. A comfortable entry with multiple closets give space for last minute composure and if you work at home, there's even a large closet that we've seen be used as a home office. The building has on site parking, common laundry and a doorman that receives packages. All of this is just a hop, skip and a jump to great places to eat such as: The Farm on Adderly, Purple Yam, The Costello Plan, Cafe Madeline, Sycamore, Mimi's Hummus and the year round farmers market on Sundays!
