Tip: check the Buildings checkbox (while viewing this in Google Earth) to get 3D models of the surrounding buildings.

dude, there is going to be an arena on top of your route on fifth avenue if Ratner has his way.

wow, this map is just making me realize that they're blocking my direct route up 5th avenue to target. It's the only easy way to get there from that side of Atlantic. Down with this!

I remember reading how the guy who built the Williamsburg Savings Bank Building made it so tall because he was speculating that the skyscraper boom would make it's way through Brooklyn and he wanted to be ahead of the game. I wonder if he's still alive to see that he was right after all.
