Benson, I have seen many posts on this site about beautiful modern buildings and how much people love them.

Well, that’s a blessing, Benson, and you should thank God for your good fortune and spend less time gloating over the misfortunes of others.”
I’ll do so when folks on this site stop putting down every new condo as just a cheap box slapdashed together. I may be mistaken, but folks here are not exactly magnanimous when Mr. B. reports on the troubles of a new development.
Yikes, two e’s, I’m losing it.
rh, I’m not crazy about his fiction either, but I love his essay about the mystery of the now-defunct retail passage in the Hoyt-Schemerhorn train station (I might be fuzzy on the specifics). Even if there is no real mystery, it makes for fabulous reading. I guess I love the topic of the eeriness of old places. (Doing my best to create that effect in our own hallway also….)
Lethem, mopar, two e’s. Motherless Malibu?
My rickety old 1860s tinderbox frame house — not a scratch. 10 trees down within a two block radius. Bwahahahahahaha to you, too.
Well, that’s a blessing, Benson, and you should thank God for your good fortune and spend less time gloating over the misfortunes of others. Your building was not spared because it’s an architectural wonder, or tornado proof, you were just lucky.
DIBS;
My block (3rd Street between 4th and 5th) was in direct line of tornado attacks. Check out reports.
My condo? Not a scratch.
Mwhahahahahahahaha!!!!!
Letham, dammit. Damn iPhone.
