Because my long-ago ranting about the f-ing Pistilli development by the park (oooh, it’s called Riverview! Posh!) is still my most popular post ever, I feel obliged to pass on this hilarious tidbit:
Pictures of The Oddity that is Pistilli Riverview East Co-op at 19-19 24th Ave in Astoria (via Curbed)
The photos are pretty shocking. Back before all my old comments got wiped (boo, Yahoo), a few people were kind enough to post their impressions of the interiors. But even the most graphic descriptions don’t quite conjure the heinousness like a couple of random hallway snapshots do. I think Pistilli buys that curlicue font in bulk.
Meanwhile, Pistilli is installing green glass on the monster tower rising in front of my house. I bet that’ll look real classy, with that beige-y-gray brick they’re using. Novel, even.
