Thankfully it's situated 3-doors away from a Firehouse. But still. My neighborhood is super hot Real Estate wise, and a building like this, on a corner, could fetch 10-15 million. Let's see what happens.

That's 28-08 28th St on the far left corner. Building Boom here
Crain's New York Business, March 7, 2024
Midtown-based Fisher Bros. has parted ways with a Long Island City site where it once hoped to build a 240-unit project.
The real estate firm has sold 42-50 24th St. to developer Chris Xu's United Construction & Development for $57.5 million, property records show. The deal will add to Xu's already substantial portfolio of Queens projects.
The Hakim Organization and Property Markets Group bought the site in 2015 for $69 million, and the real estate website New York YIMBY published renderings of a 74-story tower planned for the address in 2018. However, in 2019 Fisher Bros. prefiled plans for a 35-story project at the site that would span about 255,000 square feet with 240 residential units, 40,000 square feet of commercial space and a hotel.
Only in Queens. Make it stop

About the project
From the 1880s through the 1920s, 23rd Street was a major vaudeville, entertainment, and cultural district; "Ladies Mile," the fashion and department store haven of the time, was located nearby. In his mosaic “Memories of 23rd Street,” Keith Godard represents the area’s history through the various hats icons of the neighborhood may have worn. The celebrities Godard had in mind include Jim Brady, Oscar Wilde, Sara Bernhardt, Mark Twain, and Lillian Russell. "In addition to bringing back memories of the specific time period and people and appealing to the viewers on a more common level as fascinating hats, this design can also serve as an interactive, playful, and witty landmark," Godard says. "As a diversion, passengers waiting for the subway train might try to picture people on the opposite platform 'wearing' the hats they are standing beneath!"

That big truck on the left, its driver kept repeatedly blowing its horn and when I walked past, I looked over and he was wagging his finger at me, meaning NO! I just happened to be walking by in the middle of the day, on a weekday. And I need to remember to only photograph construction sites on weekends, as construction site personnel do not like people taking photos. And I could unknowingly photograph something that I shouldn't.

For a week in June 2018 I had worked at the Golf Tournament in the Hamptons. That had been really wild and I had a lot of fun as a result.

Not quite completed. Jon Yung of My Architect had been the architect for this building. He's also the architect for 42-19 24th St @ Queens Plaza South, as well as a bunch of others I've photographed. Whenever you embark on an ongoing photo project, you inevitably connect a lot of dots along the way.

Apple Pay adoption has come quickly and easily, whereas Google Wallet remains marginally used, and Softcard – backed by major U.S. carriers – similarly lacks a large profile. But what happens when those latter options combine?

“Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion.”
From the 2001 movie "Donnie Darko"
Kitty Farmer, a character portrayed by Beth Grant delivers this humorous and absurd line, as she directs the young dancers in the film. While it may seem comical on the surface, this quote reflects the film’s commentary on conformity and the absurdity of societal expectations.
Kitty’s obsession with “Sparkle Motion” represents a shallow pursuit of perfection and conformity. The line serves as a satirical critique of the pressure to conform to societal norms, even in seemingly trivial matters like dance routines. It highlights the absurdity of placing unwavering commitment to conformity above genuine individuality.

In New York City, public urination is a civil offense, not a criminal offense, and is covered by Section 16-118 of the Administrative Code. First-time offenders can receive a fine of up to $75, with subsequent offenses within 12 months resulting in fines of $250–$350 for a second offense and $350–$450 for a third offense. Offenders will receive a civil ticket instead of a criminal summons and will not have a criminal record if found guilty. Administrative courts may also require offenders to perform community service.
Nothing yet with this one, though it's merely a matter of time now

INSPIRATION
The siren was created by Terry Heckler, a corporate artist and creative partner of Starbucks founder Gordon Bowker. Heckler was inspired by a 16th century Norse woodcut of a two-tailed siren. The siren's hair is similar to ocean waves, a reference to Seattle's (in the U.S. State of Washington) proximity to the sea.
MEANING
The siren is a metaphor for the siren song of coffee, luring people to the brand. The siren's mythical and mysterious appeal is intended to convey the idea that Starbucks seduces coffee lovers. From European myths and alchemy, her two tails represent dualities, such as earth and water, or body and soul
DESIGN
The siren has been updated over the years, but the siren remains at its core. The latest design includes asymmetry, such as a dipped nose on the right side of the siren's face. This was done to avoid making the siren look too perfect.
