Check out the definitive postmortem on Brooklyn Street Skate Spot over at Curb Cut magazine. And that’s the last you see of BSSS here on Skate and Annoy, until the next time I post something about it.

Friday T&A from Red Dragon Apparel via Instagram. You remember those guys, right? I think they remember Globe.

There are a lot of driveways like this in Portland. I snapped this while cruising garage sales this summer. Looks like a fun spot.
