I hadn't read the article yet, just the blurb you posted.
disorienting photo, like i understand the foreground is the projected developement but i'm looking at the queens/manhattan waterfront and i'm like what is that bulge? none of it makes sense to me.
If I follow what you're referring to, you're looking at the Lower East Side. It pushes out far into the East River (all man made landfill).
What a nice warm & fuzzy sales picture that is!!! It all sounds so compelling when described, but it's not clear how any of the neighborhood would be protected from storm surge (it's mere feet above sea level), and how long it'd take to extend the 1-train (the 2nd Ave line is not exactly moving at the pace of a hare). But IF they were able to get this project going, there would be a ton of people sitting on crappy buildings that would all of a sudden find themselves holders of proverbial gold mines from a Realestate resale perspective. Because if the transportation issue(s) & the fear of flooding could ever be resolved, that area is ripe with waterfront possibilities and park space. Until then.... Big time pass on moving there.
yeah i can see that, and i had some idea that there was a bump around LES, but it looks exaggerated in the photo, like the land come to a point and the river bends hard around. Disorienting my image of manhattan in my mind.
Yeah, a bit pronounced, and that can happen with perspectives, but most likely a bit of "artistic liberty" with it.
I bet a few of them get a good laugh reading our stuff... and probably have also categorized a bunch of us into categories ranging from leveled-headed to delusional to bat-shit crazy.
Yeah, but would you want to be tasked with writing a weekly briefing on the important posts and concepts??? That could drive the intern mad. How about trying to condense the stadium thread as a memo? Poor intern is probably heavy on the bottle when cranking up the iPad to read.
I'm sure that sucks a lot. I bet the intern semi hates us for frequenting the forum so often. I'm curious which threads they look at the most. I bet they don't care about the contest threads or any thread that describes the team performance and logistics for the season. They most likely look for leaked information, marketing opportunities, and information they can use for events and info write ups in the future. I have a friend of a friend who is interning with the team this semester and I can't wait to meet them next semester so a) I can pry some info out of him, and b) intern for the club next year.
Unless you're blacklisted from being an intern for your posts, whatever and whichever they have been about....
