365-371 York Street. I got a notice in the mail about a 3-unit, 4 story building going up at that location and that the developer is asking for several variances for the project.
I haven't had a chance to stop by the planning office to view the plans in advance of the planning board meeting and was wondering if anybody had any insight as to what's going there?

I can confirm this. The Communipaw location hasn't been open for several weeks. Or, at the very least, it hasn't been open the various times I have driven past it. The location on Grand St (about two blocks Northeast of the Communipaw intersection) remains open and I continue to patronize them. For the price, it is a great deal. It's only five bucks for a very good exterior wash. The owner is always there, he is quick to greet customers, and you will often find him working alongside his employees. I wish they would be more thorough with the hand drying part (sometimes, water pools in some areas, like the trunk lid, and when not cleared properly, it drips down, leaving streaks on the freshly washed body of the car) but, at five dollars, this is rather minor. I always bring a shop rag (one of those super absorbing yellow rags) and complete the job (as needed) when I get back to my place.[/quote That's why they are going out of business. Most car washes start at 12.00. How do they pay there employees with 5.00 a car ?

Sorry. You're right - I was just at the Grand location. Agree - great value.

Residential architecture, in my opinion, is about providing a desirable place to live. What do you find desirable about this building? My first response was - geez, I hope all the people living across the court have curtains (or have great bodies and are exhibitionists). My second was what will be in the court? Noisy children? People BBQing? Sommerman, M.Arch 1971

Some residential development will be going up on the corner of Palisade Ave and Bowers where the fitness bootcamp is. 26-27 residential units, 16 parking spaces, and 39 bike spaces. There will also be retail space on the ground floor. Sounds like this will exacerbate an already shitty parking situation in the area.

They are open right now and have been the past week, I think they closed for vacation or maybe the shitty weather.

What's happening at the site of the Shell gas station on 12th Street between Erie and Manila? It's been closed for about a year but there are bulldozers there today and the store has been demolished. Only thing still standing is the overhang.
They can't be putting a residential building up there facing the Holland Tunnel plaza, surely...?

Fantastic, but I'm sure people would complain about the lack of car space. I would love to see some creative buildings, that increase green space. Concrete parking decks are so post-cold-war looking.

wouldn't it be great if developers and architects showed some imagination for jc, instead of the bland, boring towers on parking lots "the walmart approach"
look at the this in brooklyn http://www.brownstoner.com/blog/2015/ ... pired-by-cliff-dwellings/

They were on the Two Boots owner's list of businesses that successfully lobbied for the removal of prepared food vendors and food trucks from the Grove Plaza Farmer's Market. Guess their attempt at using government to limit competition wasn't enough to overcome internal deficiencies (price, quality, etc). We can now cross one off Two Boots' list. Let's keep going.

Not sure if this has been mentioned or not, but I saw today that the BLue moon (on Montgomery, in the Gotham building, close to St Peter's prep) is being gutted inside.
Anyone know what's going on, or what's coming?

Looks like the Art School was moving in there last night. A ton of easels set up and some paper signs on the windows. Is this permanent or is it another pop-up similar to how Kannibal took over the space for a few weeks before Christmas?

OK, OK. I will concede that Memphis BBQ is very good. I still find Texas BBQ to be the absolute best expression of the genre. The purity of a simple dry rub, smoked for 12 to 24 hours, is perfect. I have never understood why some people would prefer that sweet, thick brown sauce of the KC-style BBQ. There is a great place in Memphis that makes the traditional Memphis-style pork ribs, served with a NC-style red, vinegar sauce and it is like dying and going to BBQ heaven. The closest thing I have had in the area to what I consider true BBQ, is the Dinosaur outpost in Harlem. The one in Newark is OK. I would KILL for an honest-to-goodness, stick-to-your-ribs BBQ joint in JC.

Memphis style for pork ribs, absolutely, but central Texas style brisket is famous for good reason, and the Carolinas own pork shoulder. I like to see a good Yankee barbecue joint work with all three of those styles since we have no regional barbecue pride at stake.
