One would think that developers that can pay $20 million for a property on Union Avenue in Williamsburg can afford a few thousand dollars for a fence that isn’t held together with spit and glue or can, at least, afford to send over a dude with a hammer and some nails to put it back together. Most of the demolished fence in these photos of 568 Union was not taken down by the wind last night, but it did appear the gusts picked up some hunks of the fence and blew them into Union Avenue and other streets. On the bright side, the empty lot continues to attract visitors. Yesterday, someone was shooting photos of Karl Fischer Row from inside the lot with a box camera.
