Proposed renovation of the existing historic building at 1901 E 7th Ave

From Jose Miguel Cayón Guardiola

Today at the BLC a proposed renovation of the existing historic building at 1901 E 7th ave plus the construction of a new attached building was presented to the Commission.The owners plan of a total demolition of the inside of the building leaving the north and  west facades standing and the East side wall that separates the building from the adjacent one. After demolition they plan on rebuilding the interior and add a Roof Top where a restaurant would operate in the future. The new addition facing 19th st would be about 8.000 sq ft. Very interesting project in my opinion. Hopefully they bring back a concept like the Ovo Cafe that used to occupy the ground floor of the building a while ago and it’s still remembered by residents. I was told it was an awesome restaurant and martini bar that served the best eggs Benedict and cranberry martinis.

You Just Can Not Make This Up

I was sitting in the car servicing waiting room when a guy comes in and sits next to me. He right way starts to tell me a story. He was at this same dealership when a 400-pound lady was walking by him and steps on his foot. She starts to fall and on the way down punches him in his mouth breaking a tooth. The worst part, in his words, she wasn’t wearing undergarments.  He was traumatized by what he saw.

 2 ambulances came to take them both away. He had a broken foot, cracked rib and cracked pelvis. Months of doctors and rehab. Then she sues him for tripping her and the dealership.  2 years later he won his case. Today he is still seeing doctors for his nightmares since.   Last. Year his son took him to and all you can eat pizza parlor. The same lady came walking towards him with 2 slices of pizza in her hands. He turned and ran out the door.

What would you say to this perfect stranger?  I was actually speechless and start to look for a hidden camera.

Quentin Crisp

“Enthusiasm is all the rage in America. People want to lavish praise upon you, at which they are very good, and almost at every corner. People praise your appearance in the street, and I do not know of any other nation that does that. You see, strangers will walk by and say, ‘Oh, I like your outfit,’ and then walk on without expecting any reply because I think they want to feel a general feeling of acceptance, niceness, and happiness. And that is wonderful and so American.” ~ Quentin Crisp
