Battle of the Lightings


Oh, F going to the posh Sea Grill tonight for cocktails, V.I.P. models and L.E.D. Christmas trees, I know where I'll be - right plunk down on Atlantic and 4th looking up at that big ol' Williamsburgh Savings Bank Building a.k.a. "One Hanson", for tonight the clock'll be lit and turned on for the first time since August 2006!

From the CAPS LOCKED and loaded press release:

"TONIGHT – A TEST RUN AND ONE NIGHT ONLY -- BROOKLYN’S TALLEST BUILDING – ONE HANSON PLACE -- LIGHTS ITS FAMOUS CLOCK!!!"
Just as quickly as we get excited, however, comes the punchline, in lower case: "No date has yet been announced for when the clock will be officially keeping time and lit." Um, so you're just gonna flash it on for a minute and then turn it off again? Scratch that, I'm going to the Sea Grill to hang with Al Roker and Gemma Ward.
