New Kid on the Block

Galapagos Art Space is headed to our side of town, so says the NY Times. GAS cites rising rent in their Williamsburg digs as the reason for the move. In keeping with the artistic and cultural flavor of the neighborhood that Two Trees has been mindful to maintain, Galapagos is the ideal new tenant.

It's like we're getting a little sister!

And we're totally impressed with GAS' green attitude. "At 16 Main, Galapagos Art Space will install a geothermal radiant heating and cooling system,"

A geo what! Sounds kind of cool and radioactive.

"a green sidewalk that lets water pass through to the soil below delaying its path to the city’s storm sewer system, catch and reprocess rainwater for the heating and cooling of the building, plant (flowering) trees, and install a green roof on top of 16 Main. The venue will be powered with electricity sourced from upstate wind and run-of-the-river hydro sources."

Maybe we need to look into that geothermal thing, because as of right now, apparently our AC is broken!

So I guess we should take them a casserole or something. No, wait, casseroles are for when someone dies. What do you take for a birth...a cigar? A box of Macanudos for you GAS! Let us know when you're here.
