So my block is New York today. I didn't take pictures, 'cause I was driving after all, put sitting next to the building on the northeast corner of Spring and 7th was a line of NYC taxis. The building it'll have gotten a bit of a coat of paint (although only up to the 12 or 15 foot level... are they going to leave that or just do something different later?) and signage for "NYC Central Bank".

Yesterday I got distracted by film equipment and drove straight past my building, forcing me to circle the block. I really need to get over that. This is LA. They average like two things filming per day downtown.
