Look at the pretty colors of the tenements in the foreground contrasted with the bland glass/steel buildings a few blocks down, contrasted with the beautiful art deco Con Ed and ESB. If this doesn't prove these new types of buildings are less than desirable, I don't know what will.
What an amazingly beautiful city we live in. God, how I love it here. I've been a resident for 20 years and am still awed by its greatness every day. I've traveled to London, Berlin, Australia, and Ireland yet NYC is still home sweet home!
I love NYC! My friend who I stay with when I visit from Australia, lives in 2nd St between Bowery and 2nd Ave. I look at your blog on weekly basis so I can see what goes on in my favourite city. It makes me feel not so far away. Thanks!
