I'm not certain what this building is about, though the bottom half looks to be manufacturing, with the upper black section resembling a fashion-incubator, from what I've observed on the rare occasion when I've taken the train.

Drawing is still basically the same as it has been since prehistoric times. It brings together man and the world. It lives through magic.

The building went up around 1890 and was the Long Island City Hall before its conversion to a restaurant around 1910. The original proprietors were Martin Heilbut and Herman Kleefeld, whose interlocking H and K initials are preserved in stained glass above the bar. The tavern was known as Kleefeld Hall, Kleefeld’s saloon, Kleefeld’s Hotel and Hielbut and Kleefeld, but in the 1920s it became the Court Square Restaurant. When it was purchased in the 1970s by Bill “Brooks” Gounaris, he named it for himself.

The Long Island City Clock Tower building had been constructed in 1927 by the Manhattan Company, a holding company that in 1955 merged with the Chase National Bank to create the Chase Manhattan Bank. For more than 60-years, the clock tower building had been the tallest commercial building in Queens, Until it was surpassed in 1990 by other structures, the building with the clock towered over the Queensborough Bridge and the elevated Flushing and Astoria subway lines running next to it.
In 2014, the Long Island City Clock Tower was purchased by developers, using land and air rights from the clock tower, as well as air rights from an adjacent lot owned by and purchased from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), a 77-story residential tower, Sven, was constructed by the Durst Organization.
Working with the Landmarks Preservation Commission, the Durst Organization hired a team of architects to restore the dilapidated glass and cast iron clock faces of this neo-Gothic tower. Those leading the project sought to swap the damaged frosted glass panels with a type of acrylic and replace the cast iron dials with aluminum—durable materials that can endure years in the elements.
The brown-brick landmark, with its castellated clocktower turret, will eventually be repurposed into a commercial and retail space.

My neighborhood desperately needs additional supermarkets and for the past several years now there's been a huge influx of Asian citizens moving into the area. Whoever's responsible for constructing this Asian-centric supermarket is going to make a fortune

It's so out of control. And some are placing their neon construction vests on the dashboard as proof they can just randomly do as they please, and are seemingly getting away with it. These vehicles are never towed, or even ticketed.
What if a disabled person needed to get past?
Or a citizen in a wheelchair for that matter?

Twice per weekday I walk past this small outcrop of earth situated along Skillman Avenue and the Sunnyside Train Yard and it's just a little something that gives me so much pleasure, as each of the seasons are contained within this one small triangular island that's sandwiched between the intersection of Skillman & 43rd Avenues in Long Island City, Queens, NYC

The Greenstreets program converts paved, vacant traffic islands, and medians into green spaces filled with trees, shrubs, and groundcover in an effort to capture stormwater.
The program is a part of the NYC Green Infrastructure Plan. All funding for Greenstreet construction under this plan is administered by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).

William Tarr’s 1974 weathering Cor-Ten steel black sculpture stands atop the plaza of Martin Luther King Jr. High School down the street from Lincoln Center on the Upper West Side at 66th and Amsterdam. All four sides of this cube include important dates in the life of the civil rights leader as well as famous quotes.
The cube is also covered with lots of cryptic initials. BTWHS/MC/CTS/BU is a list of his schools: Booker T. Washington High School, Morehouse College, Crozer Theological School and Boston University. SCLC/MIA are the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the Montgomery Improvement Association. On another side are the initials of his family: CSK is Coretta Scott King, and and a block with his four children: Yolanda King, Martin Luther King III, Dexter King and Bernice King. ‘RDA stands for the Rev. Ralph D. Abernathy; ‘JJ for the Rev. Jesse Jackson and ‘BR for Bayard Rustin. Among the dates in his life are 12/10/64, for his acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize and 4/4/68 for the date of his assassination.
“Let us be dissatisfied until every man can have food and material necessities for his body, culture and education for his mind, freedom and human dignity for his sprit.”

His monumental public works have been seen by millions from all over the world, and his 30 x 30 x 30 ft. welded steel memorial to the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King is perhaps New York City’s most renowned public work.

I see this quite often along my walks to/from my office, though mostly with cinched filled baggies. The fine for public urination must be more than littering, though with the baggies and this cup, it should be a double penalty
--
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.
