If anything, this facade is a throw back to the glory days of NYC we all pine for.<br /><br />The problem isn't the animal print. The problem is a few people have anointed themselves the arbiter of good East Village taste and dictators of who should and shouldn't be included in the neighborhood based on nothing but their own absurd and vacillating views.<br /><br />This has nothing to do with the building and everything to do with the fact a few people don't like this business.

I do, however, have a problem with them utilizing the fronts of buildings. I am already assaulted with advertising in every conceivable location, do I really have to start worrying about every building I go by having a full-size advert on it? There was no need for these tools to destroy that facade the way they have, it's just more ugliness being shoehorned into the visual space of the city.Gojiranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-14621185494409975562014-09-12T14:10:05.316-04:002014-09-12T14:10:05.316-04:00@1:25 Tune down the hyperbole.@1:25 Tune down the hyperbole.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-17394522530333765392014-09-12T14:01:29.028-04:002014-09-12T14:01:29.028-04:00Korilla mural bad.
