Bees to honey! Or McNuggets. Or…anyhow, when we read the Brooklynian headline “Hideous New Eyesore on 9th Street,” we were so there. Turns out the eyesore in question is a big yellow awning for the recently renovated McDonald’s between 4th and 5th avenues, and Brooklynian folks are calling it “mindblowingly ugly” and “g-d awful.” (Sure is!) The larger question, however, surfaces toward the end of the thread: Is McD’s better or worse for the neighborhood than the porn theater it replaced? Jury’s out.
