Discussion about
Lofty - looked great, I loved "drive a truck across Africa" , you probably will help drive prices up in Williamsburg as a totally creative "boomer"

Lofty, good piece.

The chairs from the old place look great in the new.

I have a friend who does PR for some developers in the nabe - she pitched the story to NYM. The chairs are copies of Pierre Poulin "Orange Slice" chairs from White on White - really cheap repros of classic mid-century furniture. NWT- I love that you know we had them in the old apt - did you see them there?

Yeah, in the ad and video. You wouldn't think they'd "go" in your old LR, but they did.

Yeah..w11 is in some legal financial morass. At some point it will come out of it, but who knows when. If a true bargain were to be had it would be nice in theory to line up a group of buyers ....but as discussed on some thread once, it would be hard.

Drat. I was talking to someone about that at the SE get-together and have forgotten who it was. I was the only one drinking the white wine, I think.

Oh good! Flatiron, do you want to look into this? Putting together a group of buyers? I haven't looked at Warehouse 11 = it's been padlocked since I've been looking. Is it wonderful? Is it on a toxic oil spill or something? Are its northbound views blinded by the klieg lights in McC Park? Is it full of mold now?
