Whale v. Gowanus Sludge

Not too many things escape the Gowanus Canal alive. So far it's looking good for the lil' fella.

Gowanus: The name alone strikes terror in the hearts of mortal men. Maybe the whale's just looking at one of the numerous condos sprouting up in the area.

He could also be staking out his spot in line for the new Whole Foods going up soon.

There was a review of the Red Hook Fairway's in-store restaurant in today's NY Times. Not very positive, I'm afraid. Hey, just ask the whale!

I love that they named him "Sludgie", hahaha.
They don't even try to hide the fact that that body of water is a toxic cess pool.
I LOVE the Host reference phuyka!

He probably came inshore to die anyway. They do that sometimes.

With all the stuff going on the past week, he was a bright spot. Now... no more.
