mystery solved?


this bizarre gowanus canal silo, on the commercial market for $4k per month, has been the subject of my own befuddlement, as well as the befuddlement of curbed and a brooklyn life. but as i was picking up my grandparents' mail in sheepshead bay the other day, i happened to browse the spring issue of bklyn magazine. according to bklyn, the silo is the home of issue project room, a former-east villiage music / theatre / performance art group, which in october 2005, hosted a performance starring local actors aida turturro and steve buscemi, who calls the space 'a godsend'. we hope to go to a performance there soon.
