TROPOLISM

One of the two huge construction cranes on 21st Street, between Sixth and Seventh Avenues, has been busy since yesterday with steel erection for the penthouses at the O'Neill Building (warning: annoying flash intro with music). No gold-leafed onion domes yet, but as I walk my dog each morning, I'll be sure to take pictures of relevant updates.

One of the things I really like about this conversion is the color they have painted the O'Neill Building. And, all the back apartments face the old cemetery, which you cannot see in my photograph because it's behind the massive red crane.

That's not all my puppy saw this morning. More on this.
