I wonder why he left Park Slope?
Couldn’t afford it? Strollers?
ET and Dave, Pete, Kens and etson are in yesterday’s OT.
<<<<<<<
ET, I had the same thought about the price of Marty’s house. Seemed a bit high to me, but then I was thinking maybe that’s because it’s only a block from the park.
(I think Mr. B had too much eggnog last night)
“Has someone fallen asleep at the switch today, or are we not getting an OT?”
Maybe it’s a ploy to get us to discuss real estate.
So are houses of that sort in Windsor Terrace going for 1.4???
Seems high to me. But then again, I’m not that familiar with WT.
In South Brooklyn a semi-detached brick with driveway (similar to Marty’s) goes for about 1/2 what he paid.
Location?
we’re going to start using yesterdays OT.
It was TimeWarner and credit card company. But all those private for-profit corps and bloodsucking asshats that and their overpaid execs and such are going to the guillotine once the revolution comes.
Has someone fallen asleep at the switch today, or are we not getting an OT?
Pete, if you open the Food Pantries article under Thursday Links >>>>, it’s actually an article bashing Verizon. It was Verizon you were having trouble with right?
More importantly, is this an example of de-gentrification????
so will his purchase make biggest sales of the week thread?
