North 6th St Between Havemeyer St and Meeker Ave

Walking away from the hotbed of Bedford avenue towards the big open sky around the BQE yields some interesting stuff along the way. Unique doors, interesting architecture, fun graffiti all find a home on this block. Dominating the the first half here is the AmaxPrint.com building, complete with it's scary logo. Questionably parked right outside the very same building was a Playgirl van. I'm not entirely sure why.

I wonder how long the short houses and apartments in this area will last.  I wonder how long until some large developer buys up the whole lot and replaces the entire street with condo. I can't imagine it'll be too long, the proximity to subway, bus and the expressway could make it a lucrative spot for people looking to live in New York, but not Manhattan.
