It's been a while since we mentioned the Columbia takeover of Manhattanville, but work has already started on Phase I of the plan, "which will remove a city block between 129th and 130th Street west of Broadway." A number of businesses have already closed including a service station and parking lot. The interesting thing, of course, is that if an eminent domain lawsuit holds things up for a few years there's going to be a whole lot of premature demolition going on. There are many photos of the "Phase I" area. Before it's over buildings on 17 acres of land will come down. [Queens Crap]
