Vapor-wares


Well here it is Spring 2010 and Gotham Greens seems to have yet to file a single permit for their planned Jamaica Queens rooftop hydroponic farm.

Note that neither Queens Boro President Helen Marshall, nor her staff contacted us with this stunning setback for GG. This may be because Ms. Marshall probably still refers to Queens as "Gateway to the 1939 World's Fair" which made such an impression on her at the tender age of 10. It can be hard to keep up with all the changes going on in this land of contrasts.

It was Mrs. McCully (or MacGuffy) in the NYC Department of Buildings who gruffly answered the phone and admitted that there were no applications, no permits, no inspections and no certificates for 148-02 Archer Avenue, Jamaica.
