Your chance to ride the Lady Gaga train
I read somewhere (not sure where exactly) that Lady Gaga ads were now adorning subway cars... Thanks to EV Grieve reader Tony for these shots of the S train in Times Square...

Developer: A shorter building in the works now for 75 First Avenue
Anthony Marano, the developer at 75 First Avenue, sent us an email following our update on the site the other day. (Read that post here.)
He said that this rendering shows the building that the city approved before the zoning changed in November 2008. It's a little different than what we saw before.
Marano said that they have re-structured the financing and are working on plans to proceed with a shorter building — roughly 80 feet shorter. So perhaps something like the above but not as tall.
As for rentals or condos, he said, "We are trying to do rentals, but it will be subject to the final offers we get for financing."

Mystery Lot monster leaves before getting annexed by NYU
Our friend Lux Living passes along the following photo with this upsetting news, "It seems the doomed monster of the 13th Street Mystery Lot fame has been beamed back up to his home planet."
[A moment of silence]
In reality, workers who were there to mow the rocks and weeds Tuesday most likely removed the little fellow.
And now, a fond look back...

And, after a storm...
What is your favorite memory of the Mystery Lot Monster/Alien? Were you suspicious that it never applied for a liquor license? Or become a boutique hotel? Or annexed by NYU?
