We just got an e-mail from RazorApple, who he wants to know what the deal is with 540 St. Marks Ave.: “I’m curious after seeing this stripped car about 50 feet away from where the glass tower is supposedly going up.”
RazorApple sees this hunk-a-junk as a direct affront to the gentrification creeping westward from Prospect Heights… he calls it “a reminder that the 16-story glass tower planned a few doors down at 540 St. Marks Ave. may be a very difficult sell.” Really? In any case, things at 540 seem to be dragging on. A commenter on RazorApple’s blog say that they’ve been “pushing sand around” for at least a year now.
