Checking In On The Finger

“sort of like Warehouse 11 which is now inhabited and no one cares about the million problems it had. ”
Warehouse 11 isn’t 15 stories on a low-rise residential block

the weird thing is that it’ll eventually be finished and part of the neighborhood and people will forget that it was this unfinished mini tower with anti-gentrification drama for years sort of like Warehouse 11 which is now inhabited and no one cares about the million problems it had.
this building blows
