field notes

Sheepshead Bay 'beach' community with warped grid. Pattern set up by squatters or just strange developers. Retail on Ave Z, some on Voorhies. A couple large (ten story) apartments, rest is single family row or detached. Few with side driveways, mostly on-street parking. Fair number of red brick row front loaders, especially on East 93rd.
