and it was all yellow
been watching the construction of 195 Bowery out our window for a couple years now. not sure what it means in terms of progress, but the bright yellow walls are visible from anywhere in the area these days. did a little digging around and found these great photos on the cool site ThomasLockeHobbs.com. they really show the building's looming size and it's contrast against the LES architecture and traditional tenements.

also found a listing for a 3 bedroom, 1800 square ft condo in the building for a cool $1.5 mil. - "sweeping views thru walls of windows, private terraces and balconies, magnificent Italian kitchens and sumptuous baths. Set in NYC's most vibrant neighborhood, 195 Bowery raises luxury to a new level downtown."

dam, the hood is changing fast. having lived down here for 18 years, it's a strange and striking juxtaposition watching these very expensive and modern residences invade the area.
(thanks for the note Big O!)
