Since we moving to Brooklyn from Manhattan, I’ve head the pleasure of seeing the beautiful Kentile Floors sign from the F train window and from my walks around the hood. It’s so iconic and evocative of another time (it’s been up since the middle of the last century). I could not help but capture it with my iphone during different seasons, times of day, weather and from various vantage points. I consider it my Monet’s haystacks. So you can imagine my dismay when I noticed scaffolding over it and articles began popping up on Gothamist and in the NY Times announcing that it may be removed. Say it ain’t so?!
