Construction for new condo building 90 Sullivan Place
Construction at 90 Sullivan Place actually started a few years ago. The structure was about 75% complete when a stop worker order halted things for about three years. I saw construction crews resuming work last month.

Homeless issue is much worse this year
For those of you living near the Bedford/Pacific corner where the homeless shelter is, I'm sure you noticed that the homeless people have grown this year and the loitering is spreading and has gotten worse.

Currently, my main beef is with the Rogers Family shelter, because the building ...

720 Nostrand empty lot was drilled for core sample
Yesterday, I saw a drill truck set up and take a core same from soil inside the lot. Someone has a permit for construction I am guessing? Or perhaps investigating what can be built. Since it is landmarked I suppose it cannot go higher than existing buildings. Has anyone heard about it?

The ground floor of the building at the NW corner of Franklin and EP
Formerly the site of Yogu Moo Sign went up today. The people putting up the sign said it is going to be a clothing store.

Part of me suspects that they have not taken down the Yogu Moo sign because their ladder is too short.
