Not a bad design although the top has a bit too much going on. The ground level has nothing going on.
My God, give to New Yorkers who have lived in the city 40+ years, are on vouchers for surviving HIV for 36 years, and need some good people do do the right thing and help out needy New York citizens – regardless of their color of skin or stupid politics. Be happy and good to ALL people. Jeff
Looking for better place
Well, at least it’s Helvetica.
Not a good location honestly. Convenient to subway but that’s about it.
Glad to see an AMI under 100%
