New Bloomberg City


Above, the newsstand on the west side of 6th Ave. at W 3rd St.  Left, 20 yards up 6th, the stainless steel Pod People porta-potty that (I assume) will replace the newsstand.

A plastic mist exhaled by the rich
coats this city and seals it tight
so it smiles like Ken & Barbie,
not an ounce of flesh in sight

You're a holdfast! The old new stand is just as ugly as the new. You just hate anything new!

A holdfast jerk, am I?

Why you, you... Bloomberg!

(I think you could make some money off that "My name is Bloomberg and I ..." But you'd better cash in now.)

Its about time that poorly placed eyesore were torn down. They dont sell anything that nearby stores dont or cant sell. Most newsstands don't need to exist in NYC.

"Most newsstands don't need to exist in NYC"

But Cemusa advertising "street furniture" does?
