"It's Not Easy Being Green"

For years, this carriage house on Cherry Alley near Fifth Street was green--a kind of guacamole green not dissimilar to the background color of this blog or to Kermit himself. Painted that color the building was often the subject of photographs and paintings.

In recent months, the green has been covered over with white, to the disappointment of many. Yesterday, the building was once again painted green--but it's not the same.
