No way that’s for real. NYC is filthy, but not that filthy.

Maybe they’re painting them black, and they’re nearly finished.

@Jexy hahaha that’s a really positive point of view

Interpreting left to right, my initial take was also that the buildings were being painted black. Haha

so we’re ignoring the guy holding the nozzle with water coming out of it?

if they’re painting it black they’re doing a pretty lousy job. they’d probably have masks on too.

Thanks, Phil. You made this fun.

maybe there was a fire in the next building over ans its soot

I think this was post 9/11. They has to clean a lot of the buildings off
