Adjusting the net that keeps crap from falling on the heads of pedestrians. I’m not sure at what state this construction is. All I know is that they keep making tremendous noise grinding away whatever some other crew build a couple of years ago.
Slightly ahead of the super full moon at sunset on the Lower East Side. When the moon at perigee coincides with the full moon it is called a super full moon. It is cloudy tonight when it happens, this was shot on Friday.
If they do what they did on the north side of the street this new curbing on East Houston Street will widen the sidewalk by about 18 inches, to where the cut line in the street paving is. Though it looks like I am in for some noise during this process, at least they seem to be putting the finishing touches on the work that has been happening here forever. Or at least so I hope.
Update Tuesday:
My hope for a wider sidewalk at Norfolk Street was crushed. A new stone curb replaces the ugly but utilitarian metal, but the width remains the same.
It happened last night at 4AM, or at least that’s what it sounded like.
Norfolk and Stanton Streets. Someone plowed into them, I guess.
Houston and Orchard Streets.
The Hotel Ludlow, or whatever it is calling itself these days has resumed construction over the past month or so. But I haven’t seen anything substantial happening on the outside.
