Went by the Hotel Ansonia this past weekend and noticed a few things:

1) The graffiti and advertisements on the south side of the building have been painted over in brown.
2) All of the openings on the building have been cinder-blocked, much like many of the other buildings in the area that have been subject of confidentiallity agreement laden real estate dealings of late.
3) The various advertisements that had been nailed to the building have also been romoved.

Whatever has been happening in the Cass Corridor of late continues. This is just more fuel on the fire.
