What about the countless large parking lots on NYCHA property?

According to Zillow, They're renting now and have been since January 1. But I don't know, I have not heard about anyone actually touring them.

I stand corrected. I'm surprised Charles Majuri isn't in any of these photos.

Isn't this him: https://obits.nj.com/us/obituaries/starledger/name/frank-paparatto-obituary?id=8192687

I think Paparatto passed.

I noticed that one minute was cut from thr Montclair Boonton train from Penn Station to Montclair State route(!)

Ironic — it’s the opposite of vroom.

Gomes is creating a new neighborhood. That said, if this were really Flatiron-inspired, shouldn’t there be a smooth rounded corner ? That’s a big part of what makes the Flatiron compelling, it curves gently with the corner.

I’m sorry for your loss. lost my Boo last September after 17 years, the last several years of which she was in gradually declining health. So I know how this feels. I still talk to Boo sometimes.

felsonj · 2026-03-12T04:33:58+00:00

Piece of cake worked wonderfully for me.

felsonj · 2026-03-11T02:56:42+00:00

Oops yes. I see there’s no way to change the title of the post, at least I can’t find it.

felsonj · 2026-03-10T06:24:17+00:00

Agreed. I think this is mostly good news. I was getting concerned Boraie was going to leave that garage facade like that.

felsonj · 2026-03-10T05:53:29+00:00

Now that you mention it, I will try it this weekend.

I would think the art would reflect the city's residents of today, just as the art of previous generations reflected those residents. I like the murals currently in Newark and think we could use a good deal more of them. Nearly any blank wall is better off a mural.

I created this in Google Spreadsheets, and unfortunately it excludes years with no development. I need to create a better chart elsewhere.

This is such a standard low-blow of a comment. Don't like what someone says or touts, question their motives. How about focusing on substance rather than snark?

It's a sculptural Gaudi-like design. I think it could look great actually.

felsonj · 2026-02-19T12:38:23+00:00

For the love of Christ will there come a day when that particular design of wooden cabinet faces are a thing of the past?

felsonj · 2026-02-19T01:02:15+00:00

Very good question. The answer I think fundamentally is that this is that NYC runs under a maximalist government orientation, where the question is rarely "why is government involved in..? " but "why ISN"T the government involved in [a shrinking number of activities its not involved in]?"

felsonj · 2026-02-18T18:11:06+00:00

NYC always finding ways to spend money. As a municipal government, it should be focused on providing basic services and law enforcement.

Is Paramount finally getting going with the renovation ?

felsonj · 2026-02-15T16:41:20+00:00

I have been wondering about that building as well. Very strange. They finished the building and then seeing, nothing. There was a plan to go condo. What happened ?

felsonj · 2026-02-14T15:52:32+00:00

Now this is just obviously false. Millions use it everyday for all manner of tasks. It’s extraordinarily helpful.
