Long-time a center of Manhattan’s pasted paper scene, the Candy Factory, is now covered with a construction shed.
I should get a shot of what the official construction notices say.
When the glass and steel invaded Wooster Street, I knew the Candy Factory was a goner.
I assume the DOT is using this design to discourage jaywalking.
The renovation at PS-122 has left the exterior all bright and shiny.
The replacement of the water mains and drains along East Houston Street continues. Outside my apartment window looks like a patchwork quilt of tar. They keep digging in the same spots and either filling it with sand and tarring over it, or placing those damn noisy steel plates. From what I have seen they are also replacing the gas and electrical infrastructure as well. It is expected to continue for another five years.
Saturday in the NYC subway system is usually a mess of construction delays and reroutes.
For those that missed it, tonight's spectacular sunset.
