Where’s the Tennis Court in Dumbo?
May 10th, 2007
The weather is perfect for playing tennis on the roof of the five story building at 69 Adams Street in Dumbo (next to Beacon Tower). But the court is only open to Jehovah’s Witnesses who live in the Watchtower buildings. The rest of us have to play in one of the NY City Park tennis courts in various locations. There are indoor and outdoor courts at Prospect Park. Those JW’s really take care of their people: tennis courts, housing, health care, and food. BONUS: Below a rare photo of a JW ambulance in broad daylight.

Nice tennis court they’ve got there, although it is kind of sad that they are for the members of their church. Nice post, even though i can’t understand why there’s a “rare photo of a JW ambulance in broad daylight”.
