W Hotel Saga Update


May 28, 2002 W Hotel Saga Update: The beams continue to rise at the W Hotel they're building across the street from my humble home... Recently surpassed 10 stories... New twist: picketing Local Iron workers, protesting the apparent use of non-union labor at the site. They crowd my block as I emerge every morning. At first they irked me, but but now I've come to enjoy their presence. This morning, they'd added a 25-foot-high inflatable rat to their repertoire. He sat, glaring up at the rising building, from the corner of Essex and Ludlow.

It's not a W, right?

Have you gone up in it?
