Sale at 243 East 7th Street

Good gracious -- a broker possibly bending the truth!

Who'da thunk?

You can take the house out of brooklyn but you can't take brooklyn out of the house.

Guess what guys........ 7th between C and D has LONG been known as an oasis in the EV, long before most of the neighborhood was even livable. The legend has it that it was "colonized" by a bunch of school teachers, and while I don't know if that is true, I can tell you with 100% certainty that the block has been livable/gentrified for the better part of 3 decades even when all the surrounding blocks were close to rubble.

There is a relatively famous conversion there of a Synagogue which fetched amazing prices at the time given the location, and I don't think the addition of the Flowerbox Building (which people seem to really like aesthetically) has done anything but further improve the cache of teh block 9where did tenemental go again?)
