After visiting Vinegar Hill and the Farragut houses for a second time, I was able to obtain more detailed research and understanding of the area. Observing the surrounding blocks also helped me get a feel for the neighborhood and what it is lacking. Unlike the last visit, I came to this site visit with specific questions in mind that I wanted to answer or get information about. It was hard to collect data on some questions that I had, but what I did collect helped me understand the area even more.

While visiting Vinegar Hill and the Farragut buildings, I recorded many observations along the way. My mind was completely open upon arrival, and I saw a lot more than I expected. The area was actually somewhat nice, and not as dirty as I anticipated. There were updated sports courts and playgrounds right on the property, which I did not expect either. The visit opened the door to many questions that I will enjoy trying to answer. This site visit has made me look at Brooklyn in a complete different way as I walk through it. I now try to make as many observations as I can and understand why things are the way they are.
