Hopefully North of Brooklyn Pizza will absorb Woodies. That's one tired bar that have closed years ago.

Exactly the point. I can't wait for the Village to transform. As it is now, it's basically a poorly maintained museum for past that no longer is.

To quote writer Sky Gilbert, " But it isn't just Church Street that's on the wane. When being gay is the same as being straight, there's no need for gay anything. Gay bars, books, gay magazines, gay newspapers - gay culture as we know it - will disappear. "

Let's not underestimate the almost universal appeal of banks. People come from all around to see'em. You stand online, speak to a teller or loans officer, exchange pounds for dollars, admire the self-promotional graphics and ads, it's interesting stuff. The stuff dreams are made of.

I think perhaps, some readers wish for a Museum of the Gays ~ featuring famous historic gays fashioned in wax like Liberace, Michael Jackson, etc ~ It could feature a reproduction of " the steps ", the interior of " Woody's, " or " Spa Excess " and other cultural achievements from the past...

The " vibe " up there is about drug dealers and crazy people. Bring on the mega condo. If there was ever a place that could use a " vibe " change, it would be that corner!

It is great news. And Church and Wellesley is about to get a taste of Williamsburg. This oughta be interesting.

I agree!

It may be the next Ossington.

More awful junk for the Village. These murals - especially the one under creation at C&W on the drug store - are the new pornography. I imagine up and coming village visual themes to include rainbows, obelisks, unicorns and teddy bears.

You ought to talk to the retailers and restaurants that had these unfortunate parklets dumped at their doorsteps. All day and night they had to send staff out to quell one situation after another. i.e. stolen goods, stolen food, beggars, dealers, homeless people and their dogs setting up what...

Anthony nails it. see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Pg9cfkg8dI

The parklets were put on trial and found guilty of ugliness. Goodbye and good riddance. The pink and purple paint job really sealed their fate. How naive and unsophisticated does the BIA think the gays are when it comes to urban design and public space? Based on those awful gay towers at the...

Agreed Dev. This is yet another misguided initiative created by the Village BIA. Good Lord. Maybe the BIA members are sight impaired. Everything they touch is ugly.
