Nolita, Elizabeth and Spring Streets

I am so frustrated. I have been trying to get this post up for an hour and a half and I have to give up now getting it the way I want it. We are missing the first two photographs. I'll try again tomorrow. In the meantime, here are the last two.

Here it is, 11 Spring Street. Go to The New York Times for a good article. Briefly, this building has been a canvas for street art for quite a while, then the building was sold to be made into condos, but the new owners were sympathetic to the art, they invited internationally known street artists to come paint the five floors inside, and then they opened it to the public Friday through Sunday. Then, Monday, the inside was to be covered with drywall where it will be preserved in a "time capsule." So, what a happy story, yes?

The first photograph is at the front of the building on Elizabeth Street (you'll see the long shot tomorrow), and the second one is on the side on Spring Street.
