From The New York Shitty Photo Pool: Dusty
Charles le Brigand (who took the above photograph) writes:
Dusty on his way to church where he goes every Sunday. He suggested that I come with him, but I pretexted an appropriated outfit as an excuse to decline his offer. Dusty then retorted “Everyone is welcome, we can even put your bike in the backroom”. Maybe I’ll go next week-end.
New York Shitty Day Starter: 239 Banker Street, Continued
As yesterday’s “Day Ender” suggests there were clear signs of (yet more) activity at 239 Banker Street. More specifically: there were not one, not two, but THREE young men waiting to be shown apartments therein. I know this because I asked them. Not wishing to see these nice fellows ending up on the street like their predecessors, I gave them a warning— and my card. I asked them to tell me what they saw. Guess what? One did! Via comments in the previously-mentioned post:
I’m actually one of the young gentlemen photographed above, and I got the opportunity to view the apartments within this afternoon.
We specifically asked the realtor whether the building was residentially zoned and he lied to our faces. When we pointed to the fluttering pennants affixed to the light posts in front of the building which read “Greenpoint Industrial Zone”, he told us that they were old and that the zoning has been changed. There seemed to already be several units which were occupied on the third floor where the heating was on, but the second floor was freezing cold and seemed to be generally still under construction.
Fascinating!
