I hope that fire escape leads to nowehere because if its a working fire escape that is one hell of a Health and Safety violation just waiting to sue your ass off!

Dear Health & Safety yr ass off: The fire escape indeed leads nowhere-- this parcel of greenery is the last stop. And it's not like anything ever catches fire in greenpoint anyway. Jeeze, the nerve of some bronzers...

Your fire escape garden looks great! But I wouldn't say nothing ever catches fire in Greenpoint . . .
