No traffic today on Third Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue. At 47 E. Third St., the Economakis family is creating their 11,600-square-foot dream home from the former 15-unit tenement.
One neighbor watching the crane at work wondered how many more Saturdays would be affected by the construction.

any word from the hells angels?
ReplyDeletewhen I moved into the EV in '79 Hells Angels bikes took up a substantial part of the parking on the block. It was the safest block in the city. No muggings, no robberies, the only threat were the Angels themselves.
ReplyDeleteNow, maybe a half dozen bikes at most, with covers. NYU Law school. and now this final insult. Sorry. I miss the days when there were legitimate threats to one's personhood. The neighborhood was a lot more interesting back then.
It is NY Law not NYU law and the Hells Angels are saints compared to Economakis who mass evicted long term community members including I am told a person dieing of AIDS. The landlords are pure evil, heartless and the huge dorm with balconies looks like the red square-- ugly...the area has lost it soul to greed landlord and developers.
ReplyDeleteQuit harassing this homeowner.
ReplyDeleteHe's certainly a schmuck, but he's hiring lots of people who would be otherwise out of work, and it appears that he's actually living up to what he said he would.
