House of the Day: 69 Gold Street
The renovation of 69 Gold Street was a complete gut rehab. The owners, who picked the four-story brick house up for $1,295,000 in 2006, clearly spent a lot of dough fixing it up. Because it’s a corner property (see photo) that with a stoop-less entrance right off the street, it feels a little weird walking…

The renovation of 69 Gold Street was a complete gut rehab. The owners, who picked the four-story brick house up for $1,295,000 in 2006, clearly spent a lot of dough fixing it up. Because it’s a corner property (see photo) that with a stoop-less entrance right off the street, it feels a little weird walking into right into the kitchen. The style’s not right up our alley, but it looks like a lot of attention to detail was put into this and the quality is probably quite high. Which is a good thing, cuz they’re asking $2,995,000; then again, it’s got a carriage house that’s currently generating $3,300 a month in rent.

So contrary to what our mothers told us about going outside with wet hair, the truth is Obama should be just fine:
Common Cold on Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_cold
Although common colds are seasonal, with more occurring during winter, there is no evidence that short-term exposure to cold weather or direct chilling increases susceptibility to infection.
“He probably caught cold, I bet you anything.”
The Common Cold

Myth 3: Becoming cold or chilled leads to catching a cold.
Facts:
1. As discussed above, almost everybody becomes infected whether they are chilled or not, if cold virus is dropped into the nose. (72)
2. One study has looked at this question. It was found that colds were no more frequent or severe in volunteers who were chilled than those who were not. (76)

why? because i’m writing about what the obama’s wore to their inauguration today? They did look smashing.
So you are a woman, sam?
I stand corrected, Obama did wear an overcoat. I only saw him pictured from the podium and it looked like a suit. Must be a very very fine cashmere to be so thin and elegant. He is a smart man.
I actually agree with Whuh.
Now to more important issues: Michelle looked very glamorous in her gold outfit, sometimes you have to pay for glamor by being cold, but she’s from Chicago so 30 degrees is like Easter Sunday to her. Obama on the other hand is from Hawaii and he did not wear an overcoat, now that is silly.
He probably caught cold, I bet you anything.
There has never been, and will never be, a posh pied-a-terre in this part of town. There has never been, and will never be, a person with three mil to burn who would spend it in this part of town. This is a Bush era relic; it’ll be lucky to get seven figures.
They’re getting $3300/month for a 1 BR rental? Seriously?
BRG – was it “The Church of God of Greenpoint” – I saw that one last weekend.
Who knew there was a God of Greenpoint.
