5 Instagrams That Prove Gowanus Is the Happiest Place on Earth

Yesterday we told you about local designer Jeff Anzulewicz's Magic Kingdom-inspired photo of our local canal. These Instagrams from the past few days were all taken at on-site, and they show why the canal really is a source of beauty for locals.

And these are all from just this month!

Here is Anzulewicz's Magic Kingdom-inspired photo of our beloved Gowanus.



1. Because you look great in (what is probably) a Mickey Mouse shirt in front of it.

2. Because anyone in a canoe on the Gowanus looks like a photojournalist going down the Congo River.

3. Because the locals work to dress it up.

4. Because the industrial lights never turn off, and at night it looks like a Michael Mann film.


5. Because on a summer day from the right angle, it really is beautiful.
