The Prism Condos, to double as the Borden Ave 24-hour Light Clock

first

The name is not set in stone. I vote to keep it “The Prism”!

Who the hell wants a chaotic light show in the sky every damn nite? Also, when is the boycott of E&I Deli on vernon? Those people are EVIL

Why is E&I more evil than Food Cellar? As I see it, those are the best 2 options for food in the neighborhood without having to trek to Greenpoint or out on Northern Blvd. (Though, if you do, The Garden in Greenpoint is better than E&I and Food Cellar combined).

At least E&I doesn’t say that it won’t acccept food stamps because it doesn’t want to attract “that crowd”. The Food Cellar also refuses coupons (presumably for the same reason). Their prices are just as bad and for the store that they’re trying to be, their produce sucks.

Also, when is that bar opening?

I hope this economy kills this project! hipster/yuppy’sm is getting too close to home!

#9, hipsters, totally living in luxury condos. LOL.

On another note, why in the hell is anyone building these things in Great Depression II? Aren’t all these real estate builders and investors going to lose their shirts?

Oh wait eveyone has a problem with this, but the Pepsi sign is okay because it is iconic? Get real. God before we decide that are against it how about seeing the implementation of it and finding our more than the two sentences written here. Can we not be against anything new as a knee jerk reaction?

The Pepsi sign also isn’t beaming light into people’s bedrooms.

Anyway, why would anyone want to call attention the the ugly ventilation building by lighting it up? Bury the thing or cover it in ivy.

The overcharging at E&I deli is the most annoying aspect of the place. It happens way more often than at any other place I’ve ever been to and I call them on it whenever it happens. From where I come from, openly stealing from your customers shouldn’t be the basis for your business model.

This will all depend how it is done. If the light is positioned to radiate out of the building than it could create light pollution. However, if it is just used to wash the walls than the neighbors will nots get any radiation and all you will see are walls changing colors. Lets hope it will be the latter.

The Pepsi Sign was there first? So that that is the basis for deciding the merits of anything? What was here first? The subtext is that if you weren’t here for __ amount of years who cares what you think. People and things that were here first are no more or less important than the things and people that come second. Sorry.

is LIC the next Dubai?

At this point in construction how does one tell if a building is shabby and cheap?

Why do you people care what’s going on or up in the neigborhood- you obviously never get out from inside- in front of your computer…

This building is going to be beautiful! Instead of changing colors all the time, I think it should team up with the empire state building and match the colors. Long Island City has always been interesting and beautiful… and will continue to be.

Thank you to those who called out E&I. Not only are they a ripoff and overchange at times, they also sell rotten food! I’ve returned fruit to them on manyoccassions and just this past weekend had to return a moldy loaf of bread. they suck. And Food Cellar sucks too. way overpriced and a bunch of morons walking around as if they just landed from another planet
