On Thursday of this week, those developers, East End Capital & K Property Group, are hosting a party to celebrate--what exactly? Their triumph over history? The invitation says it's to "CELEBRATE THE LOWER EAST SIDE & PREVIEW OUR NEW OFFICE DEVELOPMENT."
I'm not sure how one can do both simultaneously.
Anyway, it's free and we're all invited.
The party will feature some artwashing--or poetry washing, I suppose you'd call it. Yes, poets are performing at a party thrown by luxury real estate developers to hype a project that is literally demolishing Lower East Side culture.
Some protesters might show up, but probably not.
This is the new Lower East Side.

This boggles the mind. They're using a photo of the Sunshine for the event that celebrates its demise. I had to look up all of the performers. I just don't get it. Do they know what they're doing or even care?
It looks like Kid Super dj’d that loathsome event. Disappointing.
How very atrocious. And as you so well said, how WILL they do this simultaneously?
