Condo of the Day: 255 Eastern Parkway, #C16
We’re so bullish about Eastern Parkway in the long-term that we won’t make too much of the fact that this 1,438-square-foot apartment at 255 Eastern Parkway, which sold for $216,313 in 2003, is now on the market for $825,000. To be fair, that’s not a straight-up four-bagger; the three-bedroom place has gotten what appears to…
We’re so bullish about Eastern Parkway in the long-term that we won’t make too much of the fact that this 1,438-square-foot apartment at 255 Eastern Parkway, which sold for $216,313 in 2003, is now on the market for $825,000. To be fair, that’s not a straight-up four-bagger; the three-bedroom place has gotten what appears to be a top-notch renovation in the meantime. The only thing we can find to complain about is the choice of kitchen counter top surface. The combined monthly charges are a very reasonable $836. There was an open house yesterday. Anyone go?

PLease read the WSJ today and the case-shiller index which shows deteriorating conditions for NYC. The boom is over. These areas are not going to suddenly become a wonderful glamorous place to live because new residents are going to come in and make you feel special. You either like these areas for the beauty you see in them or you don’t, with the rent stabilized residents. Don’t expect the place to transform itself. It is not going to happen, especially not under current and near term economic conditions. If you want to live in a bubble move to Greenwich or something. Otherwise welcome to reality.
wasder, you’re right. And his threats are about as scary as his uncle’s. As Bugs Bunny would say, “What a maroon!”
Buckfast McWhatstein—you have totally outed yourself as the what’s nephew, if not the what himself. your writing style is just too similar—childish, reductionist, and ignorant. To be on the safe side though I should ask what neighborhood should I avoid if I don’t want to be caught by you?
Biff—thanks for understanding.
what the hell r u talking about wasder.im italian-irish.r u like in third grade?go back to ur lil village where u came from.u yuppie POS.dont ever let me catch u in my hood.
wasder, I knew you meant it all completely in good fun and were simply using the name the poster gave himself / herself. I just had to laugh when I saw both names together when imagining the stereotypical caricature some mischievous writer (or early Bugs Bunny cartoonist) could concoct from it. Only a good-humored member of the tribe could fully appreciate the image of the What as a cranky old Jew.
Speaking as a member of the “tribe” I hope that my “naming” of this unfortunate creature can be understood as the satire it was meant to be. Obviously Buckfast is the name this person picked for themselves. Whatstein was inspired by the notion that the What might actually be a cranky old Jewish guy, a notion I find comical and more welcome than some of the alternates.

If I wasn’t so busy, I’d much rather dump a nice cocktail of kerosene or at least some 151 into the fire to really turn the heat up!
“Buckfast Whatstein”? wasder, not since the Merchant of Venice has a character with such anti-semetic overtones been invented!
Thanks Biff, though I was being serious. His real name is Buckfast Whatstein and he lives in Lodi with his Uncle.
