Killing Bushwick, One Day at a Time
We stumbled across a great flickr pool this weekend called Killing Williamsburg. One contributor, who goes by Crystal Cakes, has been tracking the erection of a five-story condo development from the perch of her kitchen window in Bushwick. Here we've lifted Days 9 and 44, and as you can see construction is proceeding apace. Notable moments have included the loss of a favorite pear tree. What's the address, Crystal? We'll be keeping a close watch on this one!

Crystal,
Does it seem like the construction process is by the book?

Judging from the church in the background this is around the Montrose L stop?

Didn't look like they did anything to the neighbors property to makr sure the house didn't settle afterwards. Compared to south brooklyn these guys are moving fast. I am going on 8 months and they have not finished the hole yet.

Agreed. I have lived in Bushwick for two years and the improvements have been extraordinary.
Funny story. I was walking up Montrose about a year ago and saw some dude throw garbage on the ground like maybe 5 feet away from a garbage can. I walked over and put the garbage in it's rightful place. As I did so a "local" walked by and said "See! They are trying to change the neighborhood!" Amazing.
