Third Avenue Building That Loves to Party, You Rule

Wednesday, June 27, 2007, by Joey

It's always amusing when garish advertecture delivers more than a message about a product, but about the occupants of the building it's slapped on. Sure, this had its moments, but we prefer the unintentional stuff. So we don't know how the residents of this Upper East Village building feel about it, but we've already scored a truckload of Ecstacy, and we're planning on swinging by on Friday 'round 3 a.m. Who's in?

Thats on 14th street idiots. East Village, actually more like NYU Town. Did I just make up a name for a neighborhood? Cool?

look at the sign (that says 14th St). It is 1 or 2 stores off of 14th and is actually on 3rd ave as stated, #1 is a retard.

Yup you started a new hood, I think we should call where you live "retard town"

The contributors to this site are much too intellectual for my taste.

The advertising sign is illegal, since it is oversized, is on a residential building, and lacks the name of the billboard company, as required by law.

But what do you expect from the Night Life Industry?

Taste? Class? Obeying the law?

This whining rogue industry has ruined the sleep and quiet of countless New Yorkers and now they are blighting the streetscape of everyone else.

Don't blame the advertiser, blame the building management who gave the advertiser permission to put up the sign. If the sign wasn't for the nightlife people, it would be for Taco Bell or Delta.

the sign was disussed at the COOP meeting.
