Every day, I grow to hate NYU a little more and more. I spotted this item on the fabulous New York Times' City Room blogpage and was struck by the following passage:
New York University, which previously had opposed landmark status, now supports the protection of the three towers, but wants to construct two buildings, up to 40 stories in height, as part of a major expansion plan for the superblock. It had bought the supermarket for $24 million with the goal of building on it.
Honestly, hasn't NYU done enough damage? Can't they leave well enough alone? Incidentally, fans of worthlessly inane trivia might recognize Silver Towers superblock as the location of the Beastie Boys' low-budget video for "Hold It, Now Hit Hit."
