Not gone. Apparently knocked down by a car and it’s now under repair, according to lovemynabe.
Charles/ugarte says: “I can’t speak specifically to historical significance, except to say that attractive antique clocks on tall poles are rare these days, but used to be more common. Whenever we lose one, a bit of the city’s architectural history dies. We had one in our neighborhood, but no more.”
“I found a picture of the clock – when it was standing – on Forgotten NY; you have to scroll down to find it. It is designated as “Flatbush and Eighth in Park Slope,” but more accurately was at Flatbush and Park in Prospect Heights. It is a much better picture than my nighttime phonecam snapshot.”
Huh? What clock? Where? Crustythor says: “you probably would only remember it as one of the many public things to which Key Food ties their ridiculous, bootleg tarp ‘awning.’ ”
