After nearly four decades years of construction and confusion and chaos (and what not), you could actually say that there's progress to note at Avenue A with the East Houston Reconstruction Project.

See — less confusion and chaos. You can see the streets! And new curbs!





An aside, does anyone know how to get to the hospital… oh, forget it!

The East Houston Reconstruction Project is now scheduled (PDF!) to be completed by mid-2016, according to the latest city estimates.

Punjabi is so screwed. :( Nowhere for cabbies to pull over and grab a samosa.

They'll move on to the place at Crosby between Houston and Prince (another taxi Indian food pop-in).
