Sign above the Bay Ridge Rod and Hunt Club (ibid) on Ft. Hamilton Parkway, on the border of Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights Brooklyn.
Amusing that there is a target range in South Brooklyn, adjoining a pizzeria no less.

The accompanying photos were taken by Bath Beach shutterbug David Tan back in November – weeks before the holiday season got into full gear and people got wrapped up in the promise of a new year.
One features some fall foliage, while the other shows the importance of finding your niche.
They were both taken on November 23, 2012.

When I first saw this photo – by the talented Mr. David Tan – and realized that it may be the single most attractive underside of a highway overpass ever seen, I imagined some rusticated voice chime in, “Best damn ramp in the state! Uh huh…”
I believe this little park/playground area, lying underneath the ramp connecting the Verrazano Bridge/Gowanus Expressway to the Belt Parkway, also made a brief cameo in the film Saturday Night Fever.
It was taken on December 15, 2012.

[UPDATED] 12/22/12 After some further searching, I found this matching image of Madeline Court [h/t to Brownstoner]. Thanks for playing!
The above photo, courtesy of emilydickinsonridesabmx via Flickr, shows a cute little cul de sac of Tudor style row houses. Anyone know what street this was taken on? I originally thought it was Wogan Terrace.
Publisher’s note: barring some paradigm-changing local news, this will be our last entry for 2012. Thank you for making Bay Ridge Odyssey one of your reads. Enjoy the rest of the holiday season. Looking forward to the New Year!
