Busy 6th Ave @ West 4th Street is seeing a dramatic transformation, and this low-slung building that was most recently home to yet another chain drugstore looks like it's going high rise. Meanwhile, you can see some ancient layers of Greenwich Village behind the scaffolding. And what do you think about the advertising-draped scaffolding? Sure, I get tired of the standard blue or green scaffolding, but isn't it an eyesore? Isn't NYC supersaturated already with billboards and nontraditional advertising? Fotoblogger has a theory about scaffolding: there is nowhere to store it. So when the men (it's always men) come to take it down, they immediately have to erect it somewhere else.
