Given that the new NYT listings site currently returns zero responses to a Clinton Hill search, we’re unable to come up with the listing right now!

Hey Miss Chiff you smell like a yeast infection is coming on. Call MM maybe she can help you…

The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
Shahn,
Sorry to hear it didn’t work out.
What happened?
“If it weren’t for mental illness, there’s a lot of art that wouldn’t be around”

So The What is an artist now?
You’re not up to it anymore What. I’ve PWNED you so many times over the last few weeks that you’ve got brown PWN coming out all your orifices!!!!
You’ve lost it.
Someday the loons will be extinct.
The trailer looks good filmmer, let us know when it’ll be screening.
That POS had fail written all over it!! This was Brownstoner’s first wet dream (Remember when?) it went Ka-boom. Just another victim of the collapsing Mutant Asset Bubble!
Hey Shahn where are you? The What was to see you right now boy! Remember all that smack you was popping?! Well you got PWNED! I will hang your head on my wall..
The What (More Asshats to PWNED, Dave you’re next!)
Someday this war is gonna end…
To respond to Dave, I think the bottom line is that the sad reality of NYC and the greater economy, as well as the general attitude towards the city and how it should be used has evolved into one that does not have room for creative expression on a large scale anymore. Shahn had vision and enough courage to take on the risk to translate Broken Angel into something that could fly in today’s version of Brooklyn, while retaining the character that made it compelling in the first place. I’m sorry it didn’t work out. I truly wish we had more people operating on the building level who were interested in this kind of creative, adaptive re-use in New York and Brooklyn, or that we had had them in what seems to be the now finished building-boom.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The What
Someday this war is gonna end..
Oh BTW
Brokenassangel=Fail
Shahn Anderson=Fail
We all knew that DIBS. Still- Arthur and his wife lived there and it was a glorious artistic work. (I think some of the Gehry designs for AY certainly seem to have been inspired by broken angel, which certainly sounds better than he took a piece of paper and crumpled it up). wish I had a dollar for every building that has massive building code violations in this city. At least broken Angel was art. The City didn’t do the right thing, to my way of thinking.
Still, would love to read your psyche analysis of artists 😉
