Erik,
Do you know when they are going to be finished with all the construction on Hudson street?
Thanks
The DDC has said for a long time now it’ll b done in 2014. They usually speak up if they’re missing the deadlines, and I haven’t heard anything. If it doesn’t seem to wind down in the next two months, I’ll ask them again.
Any idea what’s going into the new commercial space on the ground floor of 10 Hubert Street? Workers have covered up the neon signage on the interior, however a neighbor mentioned a Jack Erwin shoe boutique. Any intelligence would be greatly appreciated!
That’s intriguing. I’ll investigate.
