Work Begins on Sunset Park Firehouse
Construction’s started on a new firehouse for Engine 201 on 4th Avenue and 51st Street. The 17,000-square-foot building, as rendered above, was designed by RKT&B and will cost $6.8 million. The former firehouse on the property was demolished to make way for the build. According to city documents, the old facility (see pic on jump)…

The former firehouse on the property was demolished to make way for the build. According to city documents, the old facility (see pic on jump) was built in 1892 and had seen better days.
Update: We’re behind on this one: Work’s been going on for over a year at the site, and the new firehouse should be open in early ’09, says Community Board 7.

This, and all, fire stations have value beyond being a ‘place you park a truck with a room above for sleeping.’ They’re public buildings with deep symbolism and there is no reason for it not to present an attractive and welcoming face to the community it serves.
Biff – we know you have a major crush on Nokilissa (perhaps rightfully so) – take it off line.
Cool that they’re spending a ton of money to replace a firehouse which had “seen better days”(place you park a truck with a room above for sleeping and cooking). But is this really the best sue of our money?
bull shit! What are you Rupaul now?
Nokilissa, your first line was hilarious. You’re the best. Have a wonderful day with your children.
Whew, at least a little paranoid and puzzling, but fortunately well-timed misogyny gets me my identity back, 12:15! (“conspiring”?)
And thanks, Biff. Always the gentleman.
I’m off to the playground with my kids who just woke up. Beautiful day. I’ll be taking the stroller too! Evil b*tch that I am 😉
So now all the sudden the GUESTS are the trolls, even though we’ve already seen proof today that Dave is actually the one trolling??
Uh…ok.
go away biff. you’ve ruined more threads than anyone on this blog, but dave.
and you’re not even 10% as witty as you think you are.
Open post to the trolls: please continue to feel free to say what you will about me. I really couldn’t care less and don’t mind the notoriety. While I’m honored to be mistaken for Nokilissa, she is her own very thoughtful, entertaining and intelligent person.
Nokilissa, sorry you have to put up with this. As I said in the other thread, it’s apparent to anyone who’s familiar with the blog and has half a brain that we are quite different.
Another interesting thread ruined by guest trolls who will again blame us for it…
that’s what you get for conspiring with dave and biff, nokilissa.
you wanted to be a part of their little “group” and now you will pay the price by losing your credibility too.
maybe you should have been nicer and not such a nasty b*tch all the time.
