this is so sad..especially since it's a row of houses that visually define 1st street ....it was one of a few rows of iconic Bloomingdale cupolas that defined the entire neighborhood. That's what you get when you have a zoning commission that can't act to save it's own cities architectural heritage....because its is so loaded down with pro-developer schmucks.

wow, that really is terrible. First Street used to be so beautiful. It's all about the money. Sigh...
