Construction Site Du Jour: Play With a Pile Driver at 33 Roebling

February 4th, 2008 · 1 Comment

33 Roebling Pile Driver

We are major fans of the uber-shitty fence at the huge site of 33 Roebling (aka 250 N. 10 Street), which has been a wretched mess and wide open for nearly a year-and-a-half and a major dumping ground for all kinds of crap. At one point, two of the gates were closed, but a third was, inexplicably, left open. We say this to say two things:

1) Pile driving–well work on test piles–is under way at the site, although plans for the six-story building with 147 apartments on the site haven’t been approved.

2) The gates are open again, which means that anybody that wants to play with a pile driver can do so at N. 10th and Roebling. You don’t think they leave the keys in them, do you?
