Lower East Side, Essex Street Between Rivington and Delancey Streets

Apologies for this late posting. No politics today, it was computer trouble.

I'm showing you this first shot to set the scene. This is the corner of Essex and Rivington. Easy to believe we're on the Lower East Side, yes?

Same corner (note Visco sign), different angle. And what's this big blue thing looming in the sky? It's actually one block over on Norfolk Street and the name of it is Blue. I remember reading about this building but I had forgotten – and to come upon it unexpectedly is quite a delightful shock.

I'm not saying I actually like the building, but I like looking at it. NYC Architecture calls the style Deconstructivist.

The Lower East Side is changing. But I bet you already knew that, didn't you?
