Saturday's opening shots

AKA, walking down the middle of 14th Street in the early morning. 

A view this a.m. on 14th Street looking to the east toward Avenue C...
... and the 24-floor residential buidling in progress (maybe up to 20?)...

  1. Thanks for the picture - the only time you can stand in the middle of 14th St without fear of getting hit by a vehicle. Damn that building is sooooo out of place.

  2. I'm not a NIMBY at all but every time I see this building, I see the building next to it whose residents were utterly screwed over... with seemingly no compensation

  3. Does anyone remember the entrance ramp onto the FDR drive here. It was the south bound entrance way. It was about three car lengths long and on a blind curve. You needed a good car and nerves of steel to get up to highway speeds.

    1. Yeah that's one of the streets seemingly gifted to coned... i propose we officially trade it for the piece of land between the N train and LaGuardia airport that's owned by coned so we can get a goddamn extension directly to the airport

  4. Maybe add a nice cornice and some fire escapes and it’ll blend right in.

  5. I do remember that southbound entrance ramp, and missed it when you could no longer access it at 14th Street.
