This past weekend, Bushwick’s diviest dive bar, Wreck Room made wrecks out of its patrons for the last time in long nine years. This institution of a bar closed due to a rent hike and problems with the landlord. Oh, how very New York of you, Wreck Room! The community of Bushwick however, didn’t let this event unnoticed, and several of you reached out to us sharing your stories and feelings of sadness. Emily Niland wrote in her (w)requiem last week: “I experienced a lot of Brooklyn firsts at Wreck Room. My first Brooklyn one night stand. My first Brooklyn black out. The first time I lost my driver’s license. After I celebrated my 25th birthday by shooting a gun for the first time at the West Side Pistol & Rifle Range, I rode the adrenaline wave over the river and straight to Wreck Room to continue the party. ”
