Finally we come to the end of the block.  Tomorrow begins a new one-block walk.  Some day this heat wave will end and it will once again be pleasant to spend time outdoors.  Until then, it's one block at a time.

Here's a long shot of the glass building we saw last night.  I wanted you to see the 4 story tenement next to it.

Up close.  Some day all of these tenements will be gone.  Make sure to notice them now.

This eye-catching glassy condo, which was built in 2006, was developed by the Clarett Group and designed by Randy Gerner of Gerner Kronick + Valcarcel.  The updated price on a 3-bedroom apartment is from $2,375,000.  Note the from.  Almost seems affordable, doesn't it?  To see an envy-inducing description of the apartments and amenities go to City Realty.

What can I say?  It's just too strange not to post.

On the north corner is Apex Technical School.  I wish they had consulted me when they were naming this school.  I know that having your name start with A is advantageous for sales, but New York is better for search results.  And if it must start with A, how about Abercrombie Technical School or Abbott Technical School or even Aaron Technical School, all of which sound so much less cheesy than Apex.

Street level view with students.  The signs you can see through the windows say "Electrical and Advanced Electrical", "Construction Skills - Plumbing, Carpentry and Electrical" and "Auto Body Repair".  I think I'd pick Electrical.
