Paul's Salvage formerly on Bedford and Gates

Does anyone know where Paul the salvage/antiques guy relocated to? he was in an old crumbling building and adjacent parking lot on gates and Bedford until about a month ago? Thanks

OP here. It is definitely some sort of waste line because it actually connects to the original giant main waste pipe. It's just odd in that if you go up and up and up there is no where for this smaller pipe to originiate. I assume there may have been a bathroom on the 3rd floor some years agao that was removed because there is a cutout on the floor and replacement wood matched up that once observed is about the same size/area of the base of a toilet bowl. albeit no rounded edges. My fear is that this was never capped off, or the pipe is rusting inside the wall. the only positive is these fellas (knock on wood) are all hanging out downstairs for now. Maybe I should cap it off in the basement, find the other end, and fill it with a cement of some sort through the walls.

I live right across from that yellow house and i LOVE the LPC! But i'm being selfish. I've only been here 2 years or so but one of the reasons i actually bought my place was because we like walking out every day and seeing that yellow house. I hope it does get occupied soon. And more importantly I loved the idea that we could landmark our block long term. Although there are definitely pros and cons I think the benefits should outwiegh the costs over the long LONG LONG term. Even if right now I'm scrambling to get any work down before this ever happens because there is no way i can afford to do everything by the book according to the LPC. I did a lot of research and man all that stuff really adds up. it adds up even without the landmarks process.

I was also at the LPC hearing, it was a great event and the process works. If you had seen the size of the appartment building they wanted to put in, it would have really changed the dynamics of this street. In look and feel.

I am also interested in this radiator. Please email me at jkatsos@yahoo.com if it is still available.

Thanks.

P.S. Eddie does not touch radiators, just the guy on Myrtle. They need to be properly tested and he couldn't be bothered with all the risk involved.
