I love catching these gigantic paint ads before they’re finished because it’s all the more awe inspiring to remember that someone…or something is actually putting in the man-hours to get this thing up.

life as we know

Here’s another ad (same building) for Life As We Know It.  I wish I had taken pictures of the building each day that week because the amount of progress was incredible! 

After a little … research (google images) I tracked down these jawdropping examples of building art.  Enjoy:

Many have probably met Dan and experienced his friendly, incredible attitude–when I think about how many different things Dan does for EHS, one (probably made up) word comes to mind: Superheroic.

                      

In addition to serving as a Resident Assistant at our 1760 Residence on the upper east side since Summer 2010, he’s also interned with our marketing department and rocked the EHS blog world with his blog, The Life and Times of Daniel.

Thanks Dan–for keeping us entertained all summer long with your blog!
