An Unveiling


I was pleasantly surprised last Tuesday as I took the train to work and was walking east on 18th Street. The dryvit on the Old Zemsky's/Family Dollar/ soon-to-be National Able offices is being removed to reveal beautiful face brick with an interesting decorative cornice. I always wonder what the motivation to cover up buildings like these with styrofoam.

mY OH my and I'm still mystified...
I was riding my bike on Saturday and was thrilled that another piece of blight had left the building. Small steps but steps nonetheless....
