Goodbye windows on Grand Army Plaza?

dailyheights · July 2006

Got this through e-mail a while ago - what do you guys think about this?

Hi there. Thanks for the blog.

Though I'm not entirely sure if anyone actually lives in this building, I thought it would be fun / depressing to interview and photograph someone whose window will be overtaken by the 15-story building going up in Grand Army Plaza. I'd like to see the before-and-after view from that window and there feelings as their view is annihilated.

ok, quick reply from Will:

Not much time left - maybe two weeks before all of the windows are covered. From further observation, it looks like they aren't ever occupied in the evenings - but someone has to be looking out of them sometime.

I just moved out of 50 Plaza where our view of the library was disappearing rapidly. I am now in Jersey City and just saw two hipsters wearing knit armwarmers eating out of a trash can behind a Dairy Queen. That is all. Been fun. See ya.
