I love having Silvercup Studios as a neighbor. But doggonit, now they’ve joined the ranks of people trying to block out the river views. I suppose its inevitable. I love the cool movie action, but I am not so hot on the 24/7 leisure community. This is their projected new development by the Pompidou Center architect. 
Okay, I will give them this: even though their high-rises are butt-ugly, I like their plan better than the rest of the plans to block out the water views. From this and other developments, soon hundreds of thousands more people will call my neighborhood home. I hope they like Fresh Direct and making their own coffee. Cause some of their real estate booming ilk just ran Ten63 outta town. And the only teeny tiny local “supermarket” is lousy.

Is that one of them inside-out buildings, like what they got in Paris?
(It sounds best if you say it out loud in a hillbilly accent.)
um, its kind of wierd looking. and 24/7 leisure community? sounds like a richy-rich country club or something. or a retirement complex.
anyway, glad to see a new post, finally!
Blecccch! I guess it could be much, much worse. Taller, maybe. Or uglier…is that really possible?
