What you see above is a rendering of the hotel planned for a lot on Degraw Street between 3rd and 4th avenues, a property that’s set to be the latest addition to the swelling Gowanus Hotel District. The architect on the project is Kutnicki Bernstein, and its developer, Alec Shtromandel, reports that “we will be commencing work in 8 weeks time, and should be finished in 12 months.” Before this one’s finished, the hotel at President Street and 3rd Avenue, which is now almost fully constructed, should be open. Meanwhile, work’s under way at the future Fairfield Inn site on 3rd Ave between Douglass and Butler. All of which is to say that it’s seeming likely that six Gowanus hotels (existing stock=Le Bleu, Holiday Inn Express, and Comfort Inn) will be up and running in a year or so. Three additional hotels, meanwhile, are planned for the neighborhood. Councilman Bill de Blasio has categorized the Gowanus hotel boomlet as something of a red light district in the making. Time will tell!

If I recall, I made a joke re: the recessed lighting – yes, I think the dairy case was involved – and the rest is history.
Yes but a lot of the commentary were the trolls doing nothing more than ranting and harrassing. I don’t know- I think discussions get pretty lively still, but I certainly enjoy them more because they seem more substantive and less personal attacks. Or at least less attacks on posters that have nothing to do with the topics at hand.
Yeah- I miss the grocery Store, but you don’t like recessed lighting anyway. (didn’t the dairy case personally offend you?) I remember that thread, Dave! I thought the computer would have a meltdown.
Actually it seems some of the faded type trolls just got log in’s. PropJoe was certainly one of them.
I do agree that the new system is good, although the comments seem to be about 1/3 of what they used to be.
Yeah Dave, fun times. But I have to say I really prefer the relative civility here since the registration requirement, despite predictions that you and I would ruin everything once it started…seems the faded type trolls were wrong all along.
Biff…those were the days!!! I think that was the same day I outed myself as BoldTypeGuest as well. Glory days!!!
bxgrl, please immediately stop this back and forth lest we be accused of hiding out again a la the infamous Grocery Store thread!
duct tape……okaaay! You buried Clippy alive? Oh cruel anti-Clippy world. We’ll discuss this further!
bxgrl, thanks, but I said it drives “most” users crazy. Of course I’m incredibly computer savvy and immediately found a way to get rid of him (or is it a her?): I just put some duct tape on the corner of my monitor.
A little respect for Clippy, please. However I can tell you several ways to- er- kill him off, but he’s so CUTE, Biff!!
