Yesterday at 35 Cooper Square

Yesterday afternoon, part of 35 Cooper Square started coming down. (Here's a photo via Curbed.) Still, not quite the full-on wrecking ball shitshow some people expected.

EV Grieve contributor Bobby Williams was on the scene too.


He noted a few suits looking down at the condemned property from the Cooper Square Hotel next door...


...including (MAYBE!) developer Arun Bhatia there on the right (have only ever seen him with a helmet on...)


...after a little while the suits left...

    And we still don't know what's going up in its place?

    @Ken No. but we do know it will be ugly, totally out of scale, forbidding, and not meant for the likes of you and me.

    Sad, sad, sad. I hope the suits fall in the sink hole.

    We need to send SEAL Team 6 in there before it's too late.

    Couldn't someone have just pushed these parasites off the balcony into the building they are destroying????
