There's a hole in the fence on the 13th street side of the lot. I went in last weekend to snoop around & there are some excellent little treasures poking through the ferns. Best was some old tiling from what I assume was the lobby floor of the Jefferson Theater. Take this opportunity to do some New York archaeology before the fence is re-closed and the awful condo moves in. <br /><br />For those interested, I host and curate a nyc-inspired live show called On This Island - http://www.slanttheatreproject.org/ - it's a kind of Prairie Home Companion, but for the nyc life. I only mention it here because we'll be featuring some photos taken from within the lot & a story that goes along with it. July 1st. <br /><br />Also, very glad to have discovered this excellent blog.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13276230054883222940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-19700747306667055852012-06-15T21:09:56.810-04:002012-06-15T21:09:56.810-04:00Looks like morning wood to me!Looks like morning wood to me!Marty Wombacherhttp://www.trippingwithmarty.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-36162919877300094152012-06-15T14:46:21.335-04:002012-06-15T14:46:21.335-04:00Mind if I submit this, which has already been post...Mind if I submit this, which has already been posted (not by me), but has such great truth to it:<br /><br />Jeremiah Moss said... <br />a vacant lot is a more interesting space than another shiny condo box. the mystery lot is so called because it is mysterious. there is nothing mysterious about a condo with a Subway and a 7-11 on the ground floor.<br /><br />and so it's worth mourning.<br /><br />also, empty lots allow for a sense of openness, sky and light. goodbye to that--and hello to the Awfuls who will be moving in here.BabyDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04751432569519540728noreply@blogger.com
