Which is cool to see, and hear about, but not to drive through. I was stuck in an hour plus traffic jam trying to get out of LIC. Between the trucks, the constant stopping, the lanes being closed, it was hell, but it was a beautiful hell. I'd take a day in traffic hell for the future of the city. Around lunch time, the army of workers comes out, and you'd think LIC's residents were just guys wearing hard hats.

It really is AWESOME!! The transformation and how quickly its happening is just wild! If you're coming from the upper level of the Queensboro and take the ramp that goes to Thompson Ave... you would think you where in a different city all together.. tower after tower on either side now.
It just does not look like LIC anymore and there is still years of building and dozens of towers on the way.
Like I said...AWESOME!!
