Death Star getting its shield!

EVG reader MP takes note of the following today at 51 Astor Place...



Per MP: "How long before the Empire attacks?"

And one day...



Hat tip to MP for the headline too...

  1. Those fuckers just keep adding height to the building. I thought there was a new height moratorium for building in this neighborhood, but the steel is already as high as the 20 storey ugly apartment block on 3rd and 10th and it looks like they are still going. They've blocked my entire view down Bowery and seem set to just keep going.

    And I really enjoyed whichever asshole truck driver it was who sat there blaring his horn for 5-10 minutes at 715 yesterday morning - presumably to get the workers inside to open the gates or whatever. Congratulations, you've woken a few thousand people who don't work construction.

    If that place was wood, I'd burn it down.

  2. It really does look like a Death Star... aptly named Grieve!

  4. This is what happens when one elects politicians like Bloomberg. I tried to warn people, but most of them refused to listen. And the creeps who sold their soul and supporters (Christine Quinn) should be made to pay come next election.

  5. Ah, if only our ICE to LICE graffiti artist from the above post could climb up and insert an "F" in the appropriate spot of the construction company tag line... Sciame - Where building is an art
