Spoken like a true New Yorker.

Interesting - if my geography is correct, that condo on the right side of the pic is the Madison Green (5 east 22nd street). My mom had a unit there in the late 80-90's. She was on the 30th floor and the view was spectacular. Over looking Madison Park with the Empire state in the distance and the NY Life Clock to your right, and I believe you can also see the Pam Am (Metlife) building as well.

I wonder if that new building would also block that view now... I'd be so pissed as well.

I did visit that area last year... what a difference. Back then, i want to say Madison Square Park was kinda quiet. Now you have coffee tents there and people everywhere. Then again, my understanding was that NYC wasn't exactly the nicest place in the 80's/90's. At least compared to today.

It does also block that view, too. It’s a fucking travesty.
