Beard Street April 06

Red Hook’s Beard Street may be one of the most changed streets in all of Brooklyn over the last few years, although Kent Avenue in Williamsburg could start to give it a run for its money. The transformation of Beard Street from a long stretch featuring a closed shipyard and sugar refinery to a big Ikea has been dramatic. The photo above is from April 2006.
