Williamsburg Photos Du Jour: Separated At Barf?

When I was an undergraduate in art school my teachers frequently pestered me for not signing my work. I didn’t engage in this practice for two reasons:
- Over the years it had come to my attention that the size/elaborateness of the signature on a piece of art work was inversely related to the quality of said work.
- I had the presence of mind to know that 10-15 years down the line I would be appalled by my student work and destroy it. (And that is exactly what came to pass.)
Which brings me to this.
Driggs Avenue & North 9 Street
Kingsland & Skillman Avenue
I’m not in a particular chatty mood today but I couldn’t resist passing along these baby shit-hued beauties from the ‘burg. I fear this trend of going green (albeit via stucco) might be gaining momentum. Inasmuch as it pains me to write this the latter may very well be the least unattractive addition to what may very be one of the ugliest blocks in Williamsburg. Meet 253 Skillman Avenue’s neighbor.
Who wouldn’t want a balcony with scenic views of this?

That balcony block with the pointed front actually reminds me a lot of the architecture you see in Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, Bath Beach, etc. Kind of “retro” but still ugly.
That third photo looks like someone was inspired by L-Haus.
Tell me what you're thinking...
