Co-op of the Day: 11 Monroe Place
Despite a blue-chip location and a charming exterior, this two-bedroom, garden-level co-op at 11 Monroe Place in Brooklyn Heights is leaving us a little limp. Maybe we’re nitpicking, but when renovating an apartment in this price range (asking price is $1,175,000), why not spring for some nicer doors? These look a little cheap to us…

Maybe we’re nitpicking, but when renovating an apartment in this price range (asking price is $1,175,000), why not spring for some nicer doors? These look a little cheap to us and only underline the suburban “new traditional” vibe that seems like a waste in a place where a more characterful renovation would likely be appreciated and rewarded by buyers. Did we just get up on the wrong side of bed or do others have a similar reaction?

Midgets prefer the term “little people”. I learned this from watching “Little People, Big World”, which I love by the way. Anyway, I would think the word “midget” would be better than “little people”, but whatever.
technically, it’s a “size-ist” remark.

OK, this was the funniest thing I’ve read on Brownstoner in quite some time! Good job people. I think I have those doors but I don’t work on wall street and I’m frugal. Is calling someone a midget “racist” or is it just “politically incorrect”? I can’t tell these days.
