yeah – bc then you have what happened in my building – some ‘local artist’ installs what looks like a 50 foot tall vagina.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. you need to add some STD’s to it by attaching gum drops and stuff to it. it would be very apropos for wililamsburg
*rob*
The entire building was invited to join a committee that selected the artwork, even those who didn’t want to chip in.
In the interest of getting a consensus, we selected a “Brooklyn” them. Basically, we have a gallery of old photos and drawings of Brooklyn landmarks. Montrose would be proud of me 🙂
I can understand where you’re coming from, rob, but you have to remember it’s all relative. I could buy into your being offended 100% if Cobble were Kathy Fuld and reduced to shopping at Prada once a week instead of everyday.
Yeah, I can see both sides of benson’s story. Agree with DIBS that I wouldn’t necessarily want taste dictated by neighbors (even though my own ones in NYC are pleasant & would probably do a nice job).
I agree with benson that the board was being petty in not having the porter take down the mirror to paint once it was up. Guys in out bldg would have done so without having to ask the board.
BHO…I don’t think you even understand the numbers….CS 20 city has been in positive territory YOY for 7 months now.
“who the hell doesn’t want to pay to decorate the lobby of a building they’ve invested in?”
Answer: uptight Park Slope helicopter parents who eschew such pleasantries so that they can save every dime they have to send Josh and Katlin to a combination Chinese immersion and kayaking camp every summer.
Rob, Please crawl back under your rock.
Benson, time to move to a nice 1 family house with parking over looking the water in Bay Ridge. Tell wife your heart cant take much more of this mental anguish.
benson- that’s what you get for trying to improve the lobby. Yep- that qualifies the board for the douchebaggery award. What was their objection to beautifying the lobby?
