Elizabeth St.

I love the old wall at Elizabeth and Spring Street. It's constantly changing, Last week there was a guy with a green beard on it and now this. I'm not sure when or who adds and changes it but it never feels like the same corner, hmmm well maybe it does in a unique way. The only thing sad is, the old building is rumored to be sold, probably to some pseudo-Trumpateer. I hate to think of this gritty corner turned into a starbucks with 30 floors of turd housing above it. It's hard fighting change. Speaking of Trump, his new multi-$$$,$$$,$$$ condo development in soho was stopped a couple of days ago because they found human remains on the site that dated back to the 19th century, see story here. It's not determined when they will start construction back up. There is a possibility that it maybe labeled a historic site. Cross your fingers! I guess I'm not the only one who thinks there are too many overpriced condos being built. Even dead people from the 19th century don't want that crap. Maybe there is hope after all.
