Gowanus Lounge Photo Du Jour: Why Hipster Culture Must be Preserved

We captured this image on Wythe Avenue in Williamsburg in a window of a building that is currently without Andres Escobar designer kitchens and signs outside proclaiming it the cutting edge of hip luxury and urban serenity. We doubt that people putting down $1 million for a condo would put up with a drawing of a female picking her nose, but who knows, really? Maybe they'd have a sense of humor about turning the Burg into Battery Park City. Ah, well, no sermons about supersizing the Burg on this Sunday morning. We will simply note that we call this Mining for Gold in Billyburg.
