The Cripplebush Ghost Tour - Local History by SMS, by Candy Chang

Over 200 stickers were placed in specific public locations in Williamsburg and Greenpoint in Brooklyn. By texting the unique 4-digit code on the sticker, passersby immediately received an SMS with brief history about the person behind their named location: Edmund Driggs of Driggs Avenue, Patrick McCarren of McCarren Park, Jaime Campiz of Campiz Playground. Through both guided tours and self-guided experiences, pedestrians explored spaces in new ways and used their mobile devices to learn about an area originally called “Cripplebush” for the dense thickets that once dominated the landscape.
