So much blah in one picture (obviously talking about what is in the background). I still do not understand why there are no uniquely designed buildings in LIC and why they are all just the same glass towers that are just different colors and tints of green. Even the 42nd Road tower to the right of OV isn’t that great and it probably has the most going on with it’s facade in LIC. ![DSC07915](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/9/0/90c644c97999cc3796e4df9feca56318f94acae0.jpeg) ---

Even though this is just an Earthcam picture, I think the facade of the small building on 42nd Road doesn’t look too bad. ![IMG_3260](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/8/6/86cab5b683c432120596ab03dd17cd19d84a47fa.jpeg) ---
