Sky Watch


Here is something you don't see everyday, unless you live in Crown Heights Brooklyn that is. Sky Watch is this portable tower that the police use to keep and eye on drug dealers and gang activities in my neighborhood. They move it from block to block as and where needed, a sure sign of approaching gentrification.
