Totally agree, wellheythere. I find the NYT to be written awkwardly in general.
“Go Enjoy”. Huh? I never heard anyone say that in Brooklyn.
I think it’s cold and ugly and too 1970s-modern, sorry. The best thing about it is the view of the Williamsburgh Bank building.
And I agree with dash – why on earth did they tear down the original terminal? It looks a thousand times better in those photos (thanks for the link, I had no idea!).
Joe, your company’s IT might be blocking Youtube, the source of the picture/video. This is very common, along blocking Twitter and FaceBook.

IN A BIG VAT OF BALLS!!! please tell me chuck e. cheese still has those ball vats
*rob*
8 years to build. 6 months to get covered in bird poop. The grand staircase and the overlook art take my breath away. I am mesmerized by its beauty. I am mesmerized that it took 8 years to build.I am mesmerized by the restrooms with those stainless steel sinks!!! I am mesmerized that it is just steps away from CHUCK E CHEESE, or as they say in Brooklyn GO ENJOY MARTY.
Joe – did you have your coffee this morning?
what I’m wondering is why the city tore down the original station.

the New york times style of writing is mad barth-worthy! especially the real estate section where they have to refer to the people in the articles as Mr. blah blah blah and Mrs. blah blah blah. soooooo stupid and pretentious.

Is it just me, or does the NYTimes intentionally word their headlines as awkwardly as possible? “After a Delay, New Atlantic Terminal Is Open” sounds like a bizarre combo of that geek from fifth grade who always corrected your grammar, and Yoda. Why not “New Atlantic Terminal Opens After Delay”?
