Ward's Watch: Prepping By The Parapet
While there haven’t been signs of backhoes, cranes or other tools of the trade on display at Ward’s Bakery when we’ve checked in on it the past couple of mornings, yesterday we did spot some workmen of some sort surveying the scene of last April’s parapet collapse.

While there haven’t been signs of backhoes, cranes or other tools of the trade on display at Ward’s Bakery when we’ve checked in on it the past couple of mornings, yesterday we did spot some workmen of some sort surveying the scene of last April’s parapet collapse.

From your post to God’s ear.
“crown jewel” … LOL HA HA HA!!!!
might as well skip the city and just write your checks out to Bruce Ratner
“One developer”? Why the secrecy?
It’s amusing to see how AY opponents have resorted to rumor and innuendo now that their legal options have all but disappeared.
I know I’m willing to pay higher taxes to make sure this crown jewel gets built. VIVA BROOKLYN!!! VIVA BRUCE! GOD BLESS YOU!!
BYW With the Credit Market imploding Ratner may have trouble raising capital. Also rates on Muni Bonds are screaming north. AY may nor be built. That would produce srceams of horror from the Asshat Nation. LMMFAO!!!
The What
Someday this war is gonna end….
