Pearl Street Triangle Survey
March 28th, 2007
If you weren’t able to attend the Pearl Street Triangle planning session last week, the Dumbo Improvement District has set up an online survey through their website to collect your thoughts on the project. I wasn’t able to attend. For anyone who attended, was there consensus on making the Pearl Street Triangle a reality?
Click HERE to complete a short survey of how you’d like to see at the Pearl Street Triangle developed.

Pearl Street Triangle Planning Session Tomorrow
March 21st, 2007
From the Dumbo Improvement District:
Re-imagining the Pearl Street Triangle…Can’t we do better than this???
Join the staff of the Dumbo Improvement District for a discussion and planning session to develop a community vision for the future of the Pearl Street Triangle. Currently a mish-mosh of patch work asphalt, failed Belgian blocks, and public parking; the area has a great potential to be revitalized into an enchanting public space as DUMBO’s town center. What would you like to see here? Come tell us.
When: Thursday, March 22, 5:30pm
Where: 111 Front Street, suite 258
To RSVP for the meeting please contact:

Dumbo Then and Now: Plymouth Street West of Pearl Street
October 5th, 2006
For the second in the series of “Dumbo Streetscapes Then and Now”, we are looking at photos down Plymouth Street west from Pearl Street. In the 68 year old photo, circa 1938, you’ll notice that the brown brick building on the right side of the photos is still in its original form (more or less) on the corner of Plymouth and Adams Streets. This building used to be part of Arbuckle Coffee Co. The Arbuckle Coffee Mill also occupied the Empire Stores for a number of years. In the foreground is Manhattan Bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge tower is at the center of the photos. The Belgian block street is mostly paved over, but some eroded areas still show the original street blocks.
On the back: “Plymouth Street, west from Pearl Street, showing at the right of the Arbuckle Bros. Coffee Co. building. In order is also shown the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridge.
