444 7th ave
In keeping with the neighborhood m.o. of maxing out available FAR, the owners of 444 7th are tacking on a fourth floor and mezzanine to the existing three-story building that houses local watering hole Bar 4. The reader who sent in this pic likened the addition to the building getting a “wig and a mullet” which seems like a rather apt description to us. It feels oddly similar in spirit to our old friend 45 Third Place aka the Carroll Cardens Atrocity. GMAP P*Shark DOB

  1. eletricgreek, “ignorance” of what goes on around you must be what’s coined “bliss.”

    I prefer “reality,” which hopefully will have sunnier days 🙂

    No free time other than what I commit!

    Activism requires volunteerism.

  2. Hey, glad y’all like my site…needs updating, though…too damn busy looking at brownstoner and curbed (in that order).

    As for my opinions, to each their own.

    Speaking of which, where the heck is crawford or iceberg? I miss you guys!

  3. Fun is in the one who’s doing the fun, right? I like protecting my community, more than hobby actually, a commitment.

    Let’s just say we differ on our “idea of fun,” though perhaps not disagree on progress. Build all you want. Just do it legally, first. And hopefully secondly, contextual.

    And all TypeKeyed up now.

  4. Oops, my bad! electricgreek, I think you must have meant you “liked” lostinbrookyn’s site…should lostinbrooklyn STFU as well?

    Agreed, not a bad site, and I do agree with his POV 🙂

    STFU, though? Perhaps we all should…

    Mr. B, lock the thread 😉

  5. eletricgreek,

    I will STFU when folks SDIW (stop doing illegal work). I have nothing against construction workers, architects, developers, land owners, home owners (which I am lucky to be in the ranks of), renters…Brooklynites.

    I AM actually video taping “criminals” (if you did your research correctly, you’d know that’s what they are…boss man or broom pusher). And we do turn the “criminal activity” over to both the DOB and the Cops. So don’t you worry, we’ll keep the streets safe…of one type of criminal.

    And thanks for the props on what might become a good site, currently a holding page, none the less…

    PS. the MRS and I do “have fun…” walking around taping shit-heads breaking the law every other day. Gotta have a hobby, right?

    We’ll keep taping, you keep watchin’

  6. you know ccgh

    Do you really think your doing your neighborhood any good by posting video of people working ? NOT . Now I understand the whole not working on weekend thing and all.

    You really wana make a difference ? Take your camera and walk around video taping criminals . Take the video’s to the cops . Instead you waste your time taping construction workers? Cmon now grow up .Before Lostin in Brooklyn says anything .. I love your site dude but . STFU . Brooklyn has to move forward ,not stand still the way you want .. Thank You
