Queensapalaza

To get to work, I take buses from Greenpoint to the Queensborough Bridge and then I walk briefly across an 8 lane rush hour construction site not unlike being inside of the game of Frogger.  And then a bus to Manhattan.  Queens Plaza always looks trashed, like an all day summer concert passed through it every night. But so, they’re re-building it with Obama money I suppose. But it’s very hard to imagine this place ever looking nice, since it’s also full of ex-cons, speed freaks, cops and strippers every night. Here’s some current pictures of the mess that a cement guy told me will be complete by mid-Summer 2011. Uh-huh.
