Holiday Delay

According to the Daily News, a Holiday Express will be up on Union Street and Fourth Avenue by the end of June. This strikes as me as hopelessly optimistic, both the business plan and the timeframe. The proposed location is indeed a benighted and poorly-lit stretch of the area previously known as Gowanus. And there is indeed a hulking beige, barely-finished structure in the spot, next to all the auto-shops. But the place presently looks rather abandoned, a little more complete than it did here, but only just.

Not that it won't be a wicked place to drop the parents off, just that they'll be scared witless.
