UNION SQUARE—There's movement afoot on the southeast corner of 14th Street and University, prompting one reader to email in asking about the construction/demolition: "Site of old Zim Lerner Gallery - derelict for almost 20 years - newly active demolition activity -- any word on what transpires there? This is the very small bit of property wedged just to the west of the refurbished clothing store and Whole Foods building." Curious. If you know what's going on, please fill us in.
