It Came From 4th Ave: The Electryifying Conclusion!

When we last checked in on the 4th Ave sliver at the corner of Carroll, the rental building’s facade was sporting a snazzy new layer of cinder blocks. More recently, however, the cinder blocks have been covered with the same materials used on the side of the building—though the colors of the two sections of street-level facade are now different, and it’s unclear when, if ever, the discrepancy will be remedied. Still: Progress! The other new thingamajig on the structure is a gated garbage can area that may well turn out to be the best looking thing about this building.

I’m guessing the Chinese restaurant comment is a joke. There are a million Chinese places in PS. Ok, well at least 4 or 5.
There is no way the What can be that stupid.
strange considering how many adopted chinese babies there are in the neighborhood too, wonton!
i would give my left nut to live in times square!
*rob*
WonTon, why don’t you go say hi to DIBS in the Open Thread and make his day?
Park Slope has no Chinese restaurants.
Rob, based on your criteria for what makes up a great neighbourhood, you should have moved to Times Square!
