There’s something happening here
What it is ain’t exactly clear
Actually it is clear, if my sources are correct, and as my friend Rupert once told me: when the pickings are slim news-wise you have to dig deep to manufacture your own, or put a naked woman on the third page. That is why I am happy to report that a 20-story rental building is slated to break ground on the western half of this lot by the summer. It’s a good thing too, because if the first story is correct we are in for an invasion on a par with Haight Ashbury in the Summer of Love. Of course in 2012 that necessitates lap pools, granite counter-tops, and kids’ playrooms in order to foment a movement. Ohhh, I see, all you need to do is redefine the word ‘Hipster.’ Wow, what a sea change, according to the article even the Mayor’s on board for this Occupation. Combined with Sweetleaf opening in Williamsburg we’ve really come full circle!
Hipsters In Queens? LIC is Ground Zero?(gulp!)
Sweetleaf Opens In Williamsburg – yawn, I already told you that two months ago

May 14, 2012 at 4:17 pmWhat? Another rental building in Hunters Point? Why doesn’t anyone build more condos? Other than The View there is really not much available over here.

May 14, 2012 at 8:28 pmI heard it is going to be 13 stories & about 200,000 SF.
Yes. another rental & possibly a graduate dormitory later on the east side of the property.
Should be interesting!!

May 14, 2012 at 9:09 pmI don’t know about condos, but how about some 3-bedrooms? None of these New buildings have any, with the flood of new rentals you would think a developers would look to differentiate with something seriously in need.

May 15, 2012 at 12:46 pmDoes anyone know what happened to the Kitty Dog Lounge on Vernon? They moved down the street less than a year ago and now seem to be out of business. Just wondering because they were the perfect type of local biz.
