We’re really not sure what the heck is going on at Brooklyn’s under construction P.S. 264.

But seeing as how those construction dudes sure do enjoy lounging about in the shade on 89th Street during their break, we can only assume that they’re busy working hard when they’re not on break, doing whatever it is that they do during this part of construction where to the layperson’s eye it appears as though nothing is happening.

We’d like to state that for the most part we are pro-union workers and pro-union work.  That said, whenever we pass a new building that is under construction, especially in New York City, we wonder what the motto of the construction worker’s union’s are.

Because the motto that tends to ring through our head is this: “Union labor, we build crappy looking buildings.  Proudly!”

P.S. 264 topped off in Brooklyn.  Though, due to the lack of wind, the flag is barely visible, but it is there, jutting out into the sky to proudly announce, not one inch higher.

Also of note, they covered up the thick metal panels that surround the construction site with ply wood and we’re not sure why.  We can only ponder that someone complained to the right ear about the aesthetics of the metal panels, or a someone leaned up against the metal on a 100 degree day.

It took nearly a month of construction to dismantle the double lot on 93rd Street in Bay Ridge that housed the Bay Ridge Crack House.

We’ve seen similar old houses in the neighborhood taken down in one day, hopefully the relatively snail pace means that much of the old houses were taken down in a way that allows much of the wood to be salvaged into another structure.

In any event, several properties on the north end of 93rd Street can now lay claim to having a  view of the Verrazano Bridge.

Which is more than the Bridgeview Diner can say…

Things are half off the old Bay Ridge crack house on 93rd Street.

Lore has it that the only way to free the souls of a thousand skells trapped in the walls of a crack house is to break the foundation into tiny pieces.
