Con Ed Readying Demolition of 3rd Street Warehouse

As a reader pointed out to us last week, markings appeared on the sidewalk outside the building on the northeast corner of 3rd Street and 3rd Avenue pointing to the location of gas and sewer lines, which usually happens before a demolition. And that’s the case here: Con Ed, which owns the property, plans to demolish the warehouse this fall. A spokesperson says they haven’t decided what they’re going to build in its place yet. The most interesting thing about this property is that it’s connected to a wall that some believe was part of a ballpark the Dodgers played at before Ebbets. (Others are not so sure, though most baseball historians think it’s an important structure regardless of whether it’s Dodgers-related or not.) In any event, the Con Ed spokesperson said the wall, which mainly runs from 1st Street down to a section of 3rd Avenue, will not be harmed by the warehouse demolition. GMAP DOB
Oh please, knock the damn wall down already. It is ugly. So we can get probably something uglier in its place.
You know I posted that just to get a rise out of you, don’t you? You’re like a kid brother, with about as much emotional control.
“hen competitiveness is determined by who is in the largest georgraphic market and has the most lucrative cable deal and merchandizing, then the game isn’t played on the field; it’s played in the board room. I have no respect for teams that pocket the “luxury tax” and settle for 70 wins and a balance sheet thatblah blah blah blah blah blah…”
On to New York Yankees championship #27! Step aside, jealous losers! All hail Boss George, the greatest owner in sports.
GEORGE — he must be quite the mythic figure if we write his name in all caps — isn’t footing the bill. Everyone who buys a Yanqui cap, a ticket or pays their cable bill is picking up the tab. When competitiveness is determined by who is in the largest georgraphic market and has the most lucrative cable deal and merchandizing, then the game isn’t played on the field; it’s played in the board room. I have no respect for teams that pocket the “luxury tax” and settle for 70 wins and a balance sheet that works for the owner. But I do respect teams, like the Twins, that scout, sign and develop good players, trade wisely, and field a competitive roster without going out and buying an all-star team.
“Championship #27 will have cost almost $2 billion. Yes, with a “b”.”
That’s right! Suck on it, loser! This in NYC, Big Money City!
BTW, what do you care? GEORGE (a true winner) is footing the bill, not you.
On to the championship!!
$201,449,189 / 103 wins = $2,043,196 per win
$65,299,266 / 87 wins = $750,566 per win
“Only 10 more victories to Championship #27!” I guess the Yanquis are entitled. After all, they’ve won 911 games since Championship #26. If they win it all this year, Championship #27 will have cost almost $2 billion. Yes, with a “b”.
ENY – please STFU!! We can celebrate when its done
So the Brooklyn Tip Tops were named after the popular bread from Ward’s bakery.
That is very interesting, thank you fsrq. It makes the recent loss of the bakery building seem even more senseless.
“GO TWINS!”
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Two games left. The twins have about as much chance of beating the Yankees as I do of waking up a woman. Only 10 more victories to Championship #27!
