Kudos, Sorta, from The Village Voice
The Village Voice Best of NYC 2009 awards are out and Brownstoner.com has gotten the nod in a category called “Best Place to Vent Your Renter’s Rage.” Judging from the explanatory text, the pricing widget (which The Voice calls “a fun little experiment in anger management”) played a big part in bringing home the gold….

babs- maybe benson got confused and meant the Nobel Prize for Literary Fiction. Hmmm…benson’s a contender 🙂
Please see the New Yorker’s recent piece about the different Nobel Prizes out there: http://bk.ly/Qw.
While some, like the ones for the various sciences, do require hard evidence of success, others, including the Peace prize, have always been based on “softer” characteristics (and the literature prize seems to be the most overtly political in its concentration on authors from “developing” countries).
How easy it becomes to knock an amazing program based on one’s ignorance and dislike of our President. Useless snarkiness and sour grapes.
Well played, benson 😉
“the Nobel prize”
Mr. B;
Don’t set your sights so low. Go for an award that still has meaning.
“reader appraisals are about 15 percent lower than the final sale price. So it’s not working yet. But we’re the sane ones, people. Keep at it.” — Very funny.
Yes, FLH, you wouldn’t get much light or air in a house under the Prospect. $1.8m would be waay too high.
Yes, hardly the Nobel prize…
Well, they’re not wrong. Except for the part about the Prospect Expressway being elevated.
That’s it? Connn…gratulations.
