Great Wall of Red Hook Gets Blown Down

That exciting line of thunderstorms the other afternoon apparently was too much for the Great Blue Wall of Red Hook. Chris Curen, who hit us off with all these photos, reports that "a bunch of sections fell down." He adds that Ikea did better in the cleanup phase than Thor Equities:

Now, I'm not saying there are any metaphors at work here, but notice how IKEA tidily leaned their section of the broken wall back in place - while the broken sections on Joe Sitt's property were left to lie in the middle of Beard Street overnight.

Sounds like both sites are deserving of, at least, an honorable mention in the Construction Site du Jour category. (The bottom photo, by the way, is of the huge dust cloud blowing off the Ikea site as the wind kicked up.)
