Mystery Lot continues to fascinate
Been some more reader interest of late about the Mystery Lot... the long-vacant parcel of land between 13th Street and 14th Street just east of Third Avenue... Yesterday, a reader noted the presence of a man inside the lot — a man who wasn't whacking weeds, but merely taking it all in.... As the reader described it...."I saw a bearded gentleman enjoying the weather in there." Oh, yeah! See him below...

That lot is the definition of blight. It's been vacant for at least 3 years, and a dead body was dumped in it at some point in time. There's also a red building across the street (I'm not sure of the address)that has been boarded up with rat poison signs and no activity for at least 3 years. Dear N.Y. State: please eminent domain these parcels and either convert them into something useful or sell them at auction.
Actually, that lot has been vacant for at least 10 years, and a theater that had been there for decades before that sat empty for 20 years.
