I just finished reading “BuildingCrasher: Forté Condo” on Curbed. That blog never fails to create in me a deep appreciation for Brownstoner, even at its most polemic, snarky and half-informed.
maybe i’m just cranky because the train was full of door-hogging morons this morning, but that NYT article about neighbors who keep their crap in the hallways is making me more glad than ever that i bought a house (not that this solves every such problem). i’m surprised people don’t just throw stuff in the hall into the trash as soon as they see it. grrr!
Wah, pretty, I wish my brownstone was red instead of brown.
