  1. Hey SnarkSlope, sorry about the delayed response but the house is on Clermont Ave in FG and is sold by Abdul Muid & Tmor Morris from Corcoran…its still online just check out the corcoran website.

  2. PropJoe, as always, real estate is all about location. There’s only but so much property within walking distance of the socially and theologically ‘right’ temple if you’re a big shot Sephardic businessman. So you’re gonna pay for that location, since you can’t drive on the Sabbath.

    Just like people pay a premium to be close to Smith Street’s restaurants, or Williamsburg’s hipster bars.

  3. This is purely a grammatical or vocabulary point, but you can mean no harm, you can intend no insult, but only the person(s) on the receiving end of criticism can take umbrage. You can’t mean umbrage or give umbrage when you insult someone, wittingly or unwittingly. The best you can do, grammatically, is express the hope that the target of your criticism won’t take umbrage. Moreover, “umbrage” has a whiff of suggesting that any reaction is a bit of an overreaction. Propjoe would have been better off saying something more neutral like “I hope these Jews won’t take offense but . . . ” Hmm, correct in terms of grammar and usage, but still somehow not quite right for proper discourse.

    Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need a dime of Nova from Murray’s so I can roll my own.
