Pete, I’m perfectly happy to concede I’m wrong. Not the first time, surely won’t be the last time. I would not have paid that much for the Strong Place house, so more power to the buyers. But I won’t pay as much as a lot of people are paying for properties. And since I have bid over ask on several properties, it’s hardly because I’m a lowball bidder.
I got home from Oslo on Saturday, and withing 24 hours I bumped into 2 PLUSA’s. Took Mrs. Benson out to dinner Saturday evening at Blue Ribbon, and we met Mr. and Mrs. Lechacal. Joined them for drinks and some pleasant conversation.
Early Sunday aftertoon, I’m strolling along 5th Ave with Mrs. Benson, and Rob whizzes by us and says hello.
There’s an Ellis thread >>>
Freddy’s is set to reopen in the old Ellis space.
Scalia takes Kagan skeet-shooting:

I chuckle imagining this scene. Given Kagan’s liberal bonafides, Scalia probably had to start with the very basics.

Last night at Dirty frank’s I played almost the entire Best of the Grateful Dead album. That was my first eight track!!!
Cgar,
did you see the listing for the penthouse at 70 remsen? I liked everything about it except the decor and maintenance. but maybe worth a lowball?

“we met Mr. and Mrs. Lechacal. Joined them for drinks and some pleasant conversation.”
It would be pleasant given there were no lefty liberals there!!!!!

I haven’t had my coffee yet. Make that “afternoon”.
the Strong Pl house that CGAR called ridiculously overpriced sold for $2.39m (about 10% under ask).
