Lots of Love for the Schermerhorn House
The Schermerhorn is not your average affordable housing project, as The Times makes abundantly clear in its profile this weekend. (As we put it a couple of weeks ago, “This place is about as sexy as supportive housing gets.”) Stand-out amenities include a gym with floor-to-ceiling windows and a ground-floor performance space.

The Schermerhorn is not your average affordable housing project, as The Times makes abundantly clear in its profile this weekend. (As we put it a couple of weeks ago, “This place is about as sexy as supportive housing gets.”) Stand-out amenities include a gym with floor-to-ceiling windows and a ground-floor performance space. (The Brooklyn Ballet will be the anchor tenant.) Designed by Polshek Partnership Architects, the 217-unit building will end up being split fairly evenly between arts-related professionals who don’t make a lot of dough and those who qualify for supportive housing, typically the formerly homeless and others in need of help. The interior photo in The Times story is pretty darn slick for this type of thing, seeming to confirm our suspicions that lack of creativity and resourcefulness is usually more to blame than small budgets when ugly new buildings are put up.

I bet the back deck and garden are loverly right about now…
I say we go now, Snappy. Carpe drinkum.
Am I invited to the Excelsior gathering? Every group of gay boys needs one token lesbian. **waiting for my invitation**
Sorry to take this off topic. Resume.
I can’t date people who don’t drink. I appreciate it, and many times there’s a good reason why they don’t anymore, but in terms of a relationship for me, that would be really difficult. I don’t drink a ton, but they’d have to be beyond great in the sack to make that worth it.
11217…his problem was that he didn’t drink. Otherwise getting them all liquored up is great fun. But I like the ones that can keep up even more.
Stupid question, Snark. We should all get together for a few beers at Excelsior. 🙂
Never Dave!! I’m the opposite…get ’em good and liquored up.
I was more proud of the fact that I can even remember that we’ve been on 10 dates given that I spent the larger portion of the weekend in the park high as a kite.
The bf or the beer drinking?
1. “whatever 11217 , youd be shocked just how many masculine guys there are at the Kitty Realm (a hello kitty fan club).”
2. “what are you 13?”
