I just posted on Steve Stollman's place on Houston, wondering where he went and why. Looks like, thanks to a buyback, he might be coming back in 2 years--but the bike activists may not be coming with him. [Voice]
Of course, Steve would have to move back into a hideous, tumorous, monster of a building made by someone called "Sultan's DaVinci." [Curbed]

- Jeremiah Moss
- THE BOOK:
"We should all buy Jeremiah Moss’s book, Vanishing New York." --Sarah Jessica Parker

THE BLOG:
"the go-to hub for those who lament New York's loss of character." --Crain's
"No one takes stock of New York's changes with the same mixture of snark, sorrow, poeticism, and lyric wit as Jeremiah Moss." --Village Voice, Best of NY
“Jeremiah Moss…is the defender of all the undistinguished hunks of masonry that lend the streets their rhythm.” --Justin Davidson, New York Magazine
"One of the most thorough and pugnacious chroniclers of New York’s blandification." --The Atlantic, Citylab
"Hyperbolic and combative, tireless and passionate." --Salon
Will there be a place in the Iron Triangle where Mandy Burden and her society friends can do lunch?
ReplyDeleteWho's the creator of that E. Houston Street horror--"Satan's DaVinci"?
ReplyDeleteAnd, since I'm too lazy to re-type, my Queens Crap comment on this: "What's truly scary is the effect this might have on my drinking at Milano's, located on the ground floor of 51. Anything which interferes with my regimen of Brooklyn Lager on tap, the Mets on the tube (when I can convince the beautiful barmaids to stay away from the YES Network) and Isaac Hayes on the jukebox will simply NOT be tolerated."
