Time to Start Getting Real, Downtown!
It’s official: The cast of the 21st season of “The Real World” will live in Downtown Brooklyn’s Belltel Lofts, says the Daily News. And how pumped does Belltell owner David Bistricer sound? Palpably. “It is what it is. It’s the ‘Real World,'” says Bistricer. (Isn’t it kinda weird that the day a measure to preserve…
It’s official: The cast of the 21st season of “The Real World” will live in Downtown Brooklyn’s Belltel Lofts, says the Daily News. And how pumped does Belltell owner David Bistricer sound? Palpably. “It is what it is. It’s the ‘Real World,'” says Bistricer. (Isn’t it kinda weird that the day a measure to preserve Starrett City’s affordability is announced, spurned buyer Bistricer is in the news for bringing the height of philistine vulgarity MTV to Brooklyn?) The seven strangers will be living in a $6 million, 6,000-square-foot, two-story penthouse. A Jacuzzi will be imported. Fun facts: The spread will be the smallest in “Real World” history, and filming will not be allowed in Belltel’s common areas. See you at Floyd, guys.

My greatest fear is that some of you people actually watch that show.
Excellent. A has-been show in a never-was neighborhood.
But can you imagine some of these straight cornballs walking throught the Fulton Mall at night???
Uh…they are going to be walking with a bunch of friends and an entire MTV camera crew. I think they’ll survive. They’ll be hanging out on Smith, 5th and Dumbo just like the rest of us do. Maybe even take a cab home!! Imagine that!
You people have ZERO vision. This is incredibly wodnerful news for Downtown and Belltel.
Thank GOD it’s not going to be in Williamsburg!
This is great news for the entire borough of Brooklyn. Some great PR.
Will also be a boon to Smith Street and I’m guessing 5th Avenues. You KNOW they are going to hang out at Union Hall. Shall we send this link to Jon Crow…?
Just for sh*ts and giggles?
This is an odd choice for a location. There’s nothing poppin’ in the immediate vacinity at night. Sure they can travel to Fort Green, Dumbo,etc. But can you imagine some of these straight cornballs walking throught the Fulton Mall at night???
I was hoping they’d be living together in the Red Hook Houses.
I thought they were going to be on 3rd Place in Carroll Gardens?
I had serious doubts about those brownstone rumors, as the camera crew would get sick of running up and down stairs. And of course there is a jacuzzi!
What an odd choice. I guess that Smith Street or Superfine in DUMBO will now be national names.
