It's hard to know who to favor in this contest between the silly and ignoble "green" Casa Vizcaya condo project and the possibly more silly though artistically virtuous Kenny Greenberg and partner.

Kenny is a well-regarded neon artist and also part of the artistic community in LIC generally -- his studio is next to Art-O-Mat, which hosts lots of idiosyncratic hobbyist-type events and artworks. And he's the cantankerous proprietor of the very mid-1990s LICWeb, website. A site so firmly opposed to any change in LIC that it has become an irrelevant historical artifact -- check it out.

Apparently Kenny is also one of those "crazy old ladies" next door to some construction happening nearby. Read about it.

Why so mean to Kenny? LICNYC remembers all the sour emails we got when we were starting out this little site....
