Dig this: 1st Avenue pit stop

If you've been on the NW corner of First Avenue and Second Street in recent weeks, you've likely noticed the full-blown construction of the 7-floor residential building.

For now, workers are going down instead of up... depending on the angle, this looks like a prehistoric dig... (thanks to Steven for these pit shots)...

The building at 88 E. Second St. will include ground-floor retail and 22 residential units, likely rentals, given the square footage.
