5Pointz, one of the borough’s biggest tourist attractions, is not long for this world, reports The Daily News. Plans to tear down the former water meter factory, whose facade has been a showcase for some of the biggest graffiti artists in the city, and build two 40-plus-floor residential towers are moving ahead. “It’s sad for the area,” said Rob Mackay the Queens Economic Development Corp. “We’re going to lose a steady flow of tourism.” How do you feel about this loss to the borough? Will it indeed be a blow to the tourism industry?
