The demolition of the one-level row of buildings along East 14th Street between Avenue A and Avenue B is complete.
[From Friday]
From east to west, workers took out the former ABC Animal Hospital, Petland, Bargain Express, Rite Aid, Blarney Cove, Rainbow, the beauty shop, Jackson Hewitt, Pete's-a-Place and Stuyvesant Grocery.
No. 520 is all that remains between the pits. (The Dunkin Donuts is moving down the street, though.)
Speaking of the pits…
[From Friday]
Anyway, you can go take a look yourself through a blogger portal. Don't cost nothing.
Many of the businesses here either relocated or closed to make way for two, 7-floor retail-residential buildings. Gary Barnett of Extell Development grabbed up eight parcels in a 99-year lease worth $35.14 million.
The building plans are still awaiting the city's approval.

Do they expect to get the approvals they seek? Could this end up being a pit for years? It sucks that all those businesses are gone. Is the city going to give them whatever they want like Bloomberg did?
Fill that hole with Stuy Dorm!
