Congratulations on the new motel in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn! You fellas must be so proud.
Just a couple of things, though.
First, the neighborhood is called Sheepshead Bay, not Brooklyn Bay. The fact that you’ve named your new property “Best Western Brooklyn Bay” indicates that your advance guy clearly didn’t do his homework, or told you that he came to the neighborhood when he really got himself and the wife tickets for “The Lion King” on Broadway and never showed up in the Bay.
Second, the building. There is a lot of construction going on around these parts, lots of condos, lots of retail properties – and the smart ones are trying to make their contribution blend into the Bay, or at least nod to the Bay’s history. A little nautical theme here and there, some tasteful brick, etc.
But not our new Best Western.
This place is undoubtedly the ugliest building in Sheepshead Bay. In fact, wherever Brooklyn Bay is, I’m sure that nothing there is this ugly. I’m not even posting a picture on this blog because it would drive down real estate values for all the other perfectly decent posts.
You, boys, have made the Golden Gate Inn look good.
Please don’t have the CEOs five-year-old kid pick the color schemes any more. Or perhaps the Chairman of the Board lost a bet to the President of Hilton International? Whatever the reason for the baby-blue-and-yellow nightmare parked on Emmons Avenue, I am going to cuss all of you every time I drive past that thing. Plus, I’m never staying at a Best Western again.
Sincerely,
Liz Savery
