This is made all the more ironic by the fact that the neighborhood was a refuge for Jewish and Ukrainian refugees of Stalin's tyranny. For shame.

Never would I have dreamed that one day the same statue, owned by the same developers, would become a defiant icon of what’s left of small scale individuality in the LES. At its original appearance, it certainly served as a foreshadowing of the now-common, developer-funded murals that misrepresent the anarchical artistic freedom of old.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01171411177649431260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-16205462197519579662017-06-09T16:14:28.471-04:002017-06-09T16:14:28.471-04:00Fugly.
