Oval Amenities / Essentials set up a rigid wall of trees around Oval Lounge this morning to keep their private party planned for tonight extra private! The green middle fingers were put in place to keep residents from seeing the disappointed faces of investors when they ask, "this is it?" On the plus side, this event is unlikely to run out of snacks and beverages.TrackBack URL: http://stuytownluxliving.com/cgi-bin/mt-tb.cgi/142

Don't worry, Lux. I'll get some shots of the party from my window, which I've realized looks RIGHT into Oval Lounge, even over those silly trees they just planted. Stay tuned...
Not that I care a bit about their silly party, since I will be way too busy tonight trying to find the key card to get into my building, BUT.....
those trees will be dead in a week anyhow, given the great TS record with greenery!!
As long as the coeds keep the noise down and the dorks puke within the bounds of the Lounge, I don't care what they do there.
OMFG, privacy hedges!!!
David try to get a good shot of Robbie sucking down Trader Joe's jumbo shrimp and 2 buck Chuck!
WTF!? Why do they get the live trees but the rest of us get the brown tinder sticks? You bastards!
I think the hedges are to protect from snipers...
There goes Rob Speyer entertaining his friends in the bushes again. Tsk. Tsk.
Dang! Those friggin hedges are too high for me to get a good shot from my window. Anyone else have any luck? Maybe if I get a crew cut and put on an ill-fitting suit they'll think I'm an Oval Amenities employee and let me in.
It was Robbie Speyer's 39th birthday on October 10th and we missed it. Will Tishman Speyer still own Stuyvesant Town on Robbie's big 40th next year?
Happy belated birthday and Up Yours!
These were artificial trees, as phony as what was going on behind them.
I thought that the trees were the snacks.
When I walked by earlier today, they weren't in the ground, just pots, so maybe they'll move them from pod to pod for each event. I actually burst out laughing when I saw them-they looked so utterly ridiculous.
But just think, Edna, now you and mother can wee behind the bushes.
Actually, I wish they'd have left the trees in place - AND put similar trees around the other "Oval Atrocities"....
They add a nicer touch and keep the yuppy puppies who think they need these silly amenities out of sight as I walk around the Oval, pondering how quickly TS has ruined our great complex.
