Dismantle the precious artifact and move it to MePa.

THE iconic view of the Chrysler is from the East River, not 42nd St. And frankly, it's a little late in the game to start imposing view corridors everywhere. Should have thought of that in 1931.

Solow and "embarassment' are longtime companions...

It's too bad the Bush Tower was built with that party wall. Otherwise notthing this horrible would have been allowed to rise against it...without a big fight.

One possible deal: 50 more years for MSG in exchange for the money to build Moynihan Station. That's the kind of leverage the Dolans are up against.

I guess 'The Shock Of The New' quickly wore off amid the 1960s box boom.

Maybe as part of a peace deal with North Korea we could send them Gene Kaufman. He'd be right at home in Pyongyang.

Ugh, the new architect is SHoP.

SHoP has become "The Gene Kaufman it's ok to love".

Or "Poon Bush on Beaver"

I'm starting to wonder just what will remain of the old 57th St. after this cycle of redevelopment ends. Suddenly everything that doesn't have a plaque stuck on a wall at the entrance is in play.

Plenty of goats in the Bronx these days...
