Who Needs Brownstones When You've Got The Smith!
Young lovers, beware of the brownstone! This, apparently, is the fable of this week’s Habitats column in The Times. I will never live in another Victorian brownstone, Serine Hastings told the paper of record. I have had two failed relationships while living in them.

Young lovers, beware of the brownstone! This, apparently, is the fable of this week’s Habitats column in The Times. I will never live in another Victorian brownstone, Serine Hastings told the paper of record. I have had two failed relationships while living in them. So what’s a modernist-leaning empty-nester to do? This devoted Brooklynite decided to trade in her Fort Greene brownstone for a sixth-floor two-bedroom at The Smith, in part because she found that it had the best finishes of the other new construction projects she was looking at back in 2006. She also has some perspective on how her decision must look from the outside: I know people must drive by and think, I could never live in that cookie-cutter building, she said. I used to be one of those people.
After All Those Brownstones, a Blank Canvas [NY Times] GMAP
oh serine, at least your ex lovers are now serene since they’ve left you. you’re annoying, no shock at the relationship problems. where will you move when you discover your cookie-cutter is causing continued relationship failures?
in the last b.stone i lived in, 2 previous tenants moved out b/c they got engaged and married, the previous tenant where i live now moved out b/c they got engaged/married, i’m now married and will move soon. so we overrule you, wench.
I guess apologies are in order. I’d always blammed my husband. Surprise, surprise, it’s the house!
(I knew it couldn’t have been *me*)
This is great news!!!!
I thought all of my failed relationships were a result of my less-than-sparkling personality. But it turns out that it’s my brownstone.
Sorry…I’ll move any further off topic comments to the Open Thread.
Please, everyone else go on with your discussion about this poor multiple divorcee….
Anyone?????
“I hope the Canadian Geese”
Should be ‘Goose’
God help us all, if there was more than one polluting this site.
“And your rant at 10:29 can be blamed on your brownstone?????? Put hubby on…”
OK, RELAX…my goodness!
If that’s the case, I hope the Canadian Geese is back soon to appease you.
I don’t have a brownstone. I have a modernist-leaning apartment in a cookie cutter building.
there’s an open thread up there you know
*rob*
“DIBS…you OK?
you’re very snippy today.”
And your rant at 10:29 can be blamed on your brownstone?????? Put hubby on…
“Is the Canadian back from his extended secretive vacation???”
Geez…and thanks for asking about ME!!!
BTW – I’m not his keeper. I have no idea if he’s back.
Is someone in Bed. Sty. pining for him?
You can blame your question on your brownstone!
