1) Lower East Side: Lately, things with our Big Blue friend have been quiet. Almost too quiet. Things may be stirring inside though. A reader writes, "Have people moved in yet? Walking by the other day, I thought I saw signs of life through the windows." [CurbedWire Inbox]
2) Chelsea: A tipster follows up on the previously reported transformation of a Chelsea low-rise: "The block of 6th ave between 29th and 30th street has been totally closed down. For the past 6 months, businesses in that parking garage building have been leaving, now the parking garage is closed and the scaffolding is going up. Looks like another high rise condo is going there to match the other ones that have been erected on every single corner of 6th ave." [CurbedWire Inbox]
