No permit? Are the Three Stooges running the show here?

Perhaps a skosh too dense.

Can we all sing it together: "Fa--bric--land, Fabricland!"

I was only making a cheap satirical jibe about the typical resident of this area, who, generally speaking, is not inclined to undertake DIY projects that might involve shops like Fabricland.:)

I don't think anyone who lives in Yorkville and shops at Pusateri's is on the lookout for bolts of crepe to sew her own cushions.

"Towers, not circuses."

Already excavating! They're not wasting any more time here.

A thousand years from that Michael Bros. excavator will be unearthed in that place and position. A bewhiskered onlooker will nod sagely and exclaim, "Ah yes, that accursed Pemberton and its blazing sandbox!"

"It's the feel-good skyscraper of the year. A stunner!" - Jeff Craig, Sixty Second Preview
