Nosy Neighbor: When Did the Signage on 49 Chambers Change?
"I always though the Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank sign on 49 Chambers was done in brick, rather than painted on, but in your recent Then & Now post, the sign seems to have changed between 1936 and 2017. Any idea what the story is?" —A. / 4 comments
Nosy Neighbor: What Are Those White Bands on 1WTC’s Antenna?

Nosy Neighbor: Why Has Construction Stopped at 30 Warren?

Nosy Neighbor: Why is Tribeca Tower’s Plaza Still Closed?
"I'm not entirely sure, but I think that since they started, I moved out, gut-renovated my apartment, had a baby, and moved back in. Someone is still planting flowers in the flowerbeds, but they haven't bothered to remove the abandoned bikes." —E.
Nosy Neighbor: What’s This Restaurant Opening on Spring Street?
"It looks like some type of food establishment is opening at 303 Spring. Do we know anything about it?" —M.

Nosy Neighbor: Is That a Dan Flavin Artwork?
"Every time I walk down Worth Street, I wonder whether the yellow light installation in the window of 5 Worth is by Dan Flavin. Is there a way to find out?" —M. / 1 comment
Nosy Neighbor: What’s the Deal with 79 and 81 Warren?
"Do you know if the plan for 79-81 Warren has changed? It looks now like they are only building 81 Warren higher. Seems weird that they'd connect the two buildings higher in stages like they're doing now." —J.
