Real Estate Rhetoric Explained: One Hunters Point
I have long wrestled with exactly what the fuck the advertising wizard were getting at with this advertising campaign (as shown to the left).
Commute like a rocket
might seem pretty snappy on paper, but in reality it sounds kind of stupid. I suppose they’re were trying to get at how fast one can get into Manhattan from this location. Or are they? Being from a particular generation whose memories of space travel are less than cheerful I have my doubts.
On that note I am pleased to announce that I walked by One Hunter’s Point yesterday evening. And I think I have finally found the answer.
Meet the on-site sales office for One Hunter’s Point.
Now meet the rather unconventional sales tool located across the street.
I wonder if a defective O ring was to blame?
Damn.

Remember that phlegm-colored condominium a bong’s toss from the Pulaski Bridge in Long Island City called the L Haus? Well, I almost forgot about it. Thankfully we have Autumn Sol to thank for reminding us that this nondo-in-the-making received a very dubious distinction this morning.
She writes:
I know this is LIC, but is so, so close to GPT.
Place: Lhaus, 11-02 49th Ave., LIC

They even rolled out the scab-busting rat. Good times!

Photos Du Jour: Long Island City Shots
Now that the Mac Off* is behind me I have had the time to upload some really lovely photographs from my latest sojourn to Long Island City. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed taking them!
Footage from this evening’s Mac Off will be forthcoming tomorrow!

*Which was not without controversy. For starters Mizz Greenpoint does not in fact live in Greenpoint: she lives in Park Slope. In addition Red Star saw fit to put bacon in their mac and cheese thus precluding me from eating it. Not that this made any real difference; we immediately and unanimously agreed The Habitat deserved props. Way to go guys (and gals)!

And while we’re at it why not drag a comb through that hair for chrissakes?!? Didn’t your mother teach you anything? Long Island City is a class establishment.

Long Island City Photos Du Jour: Before & After
If you’re out there reading this Karl Fischer…
The cool old power station in Long Island City you rendered into a steaming pile of Buck Rogers-esque of Post Modern crap (which you purportedly take much pride in)…
has been duly memorialized for posterity at 50th Avenue. Why not swing by and check it out?
It shouldn’t be very difficult to find.
