A Handshake Seals the Broken Angel Deal
We couldn’t resist running this photo from Chris Wood’s Flickr page showing Shahn Andersen and the Woods sealing the Broken Angel deal last weekend. Shahn clearly dressed up for the occasion! In related news, we have a tentative agreement to host the Broken Angel reno blog here on Brownstoner. How much will that rock! Broken…

Broken Angel Sold & Saved: Will Become Condos [Gowanus Lounge]
The closing was in Blockbuster because it is the sequel to David Chapelle’s sequel documentary another White guy takes the broken angel for a ride.
Go for it Shahn. You’re only 13 I mean 32 once big guy. Jealous,not really. I actually think it is definitely part crazy to actually do this. Afterall 32… you’ve been around a loooooong time. This is the time to do all things crazy.
Did you close in a video store? I like your shirt!
Good luck Shahn!
Of course we’re all jealous. We’re sitting at our computers, jerking around, and you’re making big buck real estate deals with crazy old codgers at Blockbuster in the hood.
As my grampa said, “Larry, there are followers and there are leaders. It’s up to you.” Most of us are followers. You’re obviously a leader.
Don’t sweat guys like HUH? He’s an uptight finance nerd who spends his days hunched at his desk in midtown, counting his sheckles and scratching his ass.
Look’n forward to the blog. . .
hear, hear. you guys are just jealous because you hadn’t accomplished half of what he has when you were 32…
I know his properties and he’s been working hard for a long time and is a committed member of his community as well.
So I should have let Broken Angel get demolished Anon 6:05? Why didn’t you step in and help the Woods when the DOB was about to tear their building down? Is doing something mutually beneficial a swindle?
This is my 12th rehabilitation project HUH! The Woods will end up with a good deal more of the financial proceeds than I get, and we will both benefit from the building being saved. If you had offered to bring your construction resources to the table, and then given 100% of the financial proceeds to the Woods, I’m sure they would have taken you up on it. You didn’t choose to do that, and I am neither saint nor swindler for putting my time and resources on the line to make sure the project gets done right.
Seriously, what experience do you have developing a piece of property this large and important? Where are your contractors, funding, architects coming from? What knowledge do you have of zoning, building codes and the like? What are the Woods getting? Are you splitting the costs and the funds? Are they getting money up front for allowing you to develop this property?
You’re more the swindler in this equation.
I don’t have an earing, and I won’t be 32 until March. Where does this information come from? Aren’t we supposed to be talking about Broken Angel and not me? I’m just the catalyst in this equation.
