watch out, don’t fall into that giant hole. there’s some serious subsidence happening on that sidewalk next to third ave there.
I didn’t notice that, ibitmylip. I must have been standing right on top of it.
they tried to cover the ever-widening crack with some patches of asphalt, but even the asphalt is coming apart. take a look at it next time you are walking by. it is more distinctive toward 7th street than toward 6th street.
I’m not one to constantly moan about new buildings, but the alleyway/street behind the old building was amazing and I’ll miss it.
