Ghost of a Used Car Lot on Fourth Avenue

Found on 4th Avenue between the Brooklyn Lyceum and Union Street.

For more old signage, check out the blog by the man who coined the term "fading ad" here.

Fourth Avenue Freeze Out

I know they evicted people and knocked a building down at this site. Then the artist that sold her soul to the developers put up her trademark flowers and inane words like "Thank you!" on the wall. On this one she actually wrote "What is humility?"

Don't ask a developer! Or perhaps that was a meditation for herself to make her feel better for putting a folksy face on glass and steel to come. By the way most of the "luxury" condo around 4th avenue have no charm and look like NYU dorms in the east village, which, my "favorite" artist has also adorned their wrecking walls with her inanity.

Anyway, back to Fourth Ave. It looks like the big plans fell through and now this piece of property at the toney local of fourth avenue and 7th Street is for sale and her artwork is the legacy of hope of the year 2008.

Read and see the art & bad poetry about dead revolutionary war soldiers done by this very same clueless artist on 3rd Street and Bond as a ploy to want to live there here.
