GREENPOINTIf heavy industry and urban pollution are your thing, then the latest Obscura Society tour is right up your alley. Called “The Poison Cauldron of the Newtown Creek,” the tour will explore the petroleum and waste transfer districts of the creek on August 25. The area is the heart of the 1978 Greenpoint Oil Spill, which is one of the largest oil spills ever recorded in the United States. You’ll be traipsing through a “virtual urban desert” with broken pavement and industrial remnants, making your way toward the Kosciuszko Bridge. [Curbedwire Inbox; tickets]
