Ocean on the Park, Coopted
The saga of 185 Ocean has taken its latest twist, as the building has announced - like all modern construction must - that it has a name. And what is the name? "Ocean on the Park". I feel like I've heard that name before.
That's right. The decidedly ahistorical development that replaced a frame house and sits in the middle of a row of historic brownstones has named itself after the recently-approved historic district.
Of course, this is in keeping with the development tradition of naming a planned community after whatever species of tree or animal had to be destroyed to make way for the new building.
Thanks to Bob Marvin for the tip and the photo.
Complaint filed.

WOW...so first you're excited about the new affordable housing on crooke ave....then you're super pissed about the new condo building on ocean....and then you're all worked up about the crime in the area and the lack of nightlife....
UNBELIEVABLE...

Wait a second, Charles. I think Dave stumbled onto something. Crime-themed nightlife could be the ticket for PLG.
