Sunday could be a busy day:
The Society for Industrial Archaeology is sponsoring a walking tour of the industrial heritage of Williamsburg & Greenpoint (starting time 1PM). Afterwards, the Municipal Art Society is sponsoring a tour of Greenpoint & Williamsburg (starting time 4:30), led by Francis Morrone. Details on both tours here.
Bar Matchless and Works Engineering are putting on all day Vintage European and Japanese Motorcycle Show – the bike show runs from 10AM to 5PM; music from 5PM to 7PM. There’ll be free food and free beer too. Details here and here.
Its certainly possible to do all three.

Congratulations to Teri & Rob on their roller coaster wedding. The Daily News has a photo album up here, and two (TWO!) articles about the nuptials.
Seems like August is the month for Coney Island enthusiasts (& Robs) to tie the knot.

Last night, in a daring midnight operation, Northside Piers put on airs. From about 10PM until at least 3AM, NP was installing its rooftop cooling tower. The operation required a lot of very bright flood lights and a really, really tall crane. Unfortunately, being dark and four or five blocks away, this could not be captured on a point and shoot camera. So we give you here the aftermath – a view of the newly-installed cooling tower this afternoon.
And after the jump, in honor of Bob at GowanusLounge, who is truly lounging this week, a special bonus view of the latest activity at Dutch Mustard and Northside Piers, all in one shot.

Grand Ferry Park, Williamsburg.

It sure will be nice when the neighborhood gentrifies and they start fixing our parks. Assuming there is anything left of Grand Ferry Park by then.

You never know when you might.
