    As much as I dig that Liebeskind tower, I love the old Metropolitan Life Tower and would hate to see that gem be obstructed. Maybe if 11 Madison had reached its full 80 floors...

    That suitcase planter has been there for some time. It's one of our daughter's favorite sights in Cobble Hill.

    I love David Liebeskinds quote.



    It reminds me of the introductory monologue of David Bowie's "Diamond Dogs":





    And in the death



    As the last few corpses lay rotting on the slimy thoroughfare



    The shutters lifted in inches in temperance building High on poachers hill



    And red mutant eyes gaze down on hunger city



    No more big wheels



    Fleas the size of rats sucked on rats the size of cats



    And ten thousand peoploids split into small tribes

    Coveting the highest of the sterile skyscrapers



    Like packs of dogs assaulting the glass fronts of love-me avenue



    Ripping and rewrapping mink and shiny silver fox, now legwarmers



    Family badge of sapphire and cracked emerald



    Any day now



    The year of the diamond dogs
