if you are old enough, you will remember what happened then at Kent State University. (If not, Wiki is your friend.) Could my memory be right? I have a strong recollection of learning about it that afternoon from looking over someone's shoulder at a NY Po

The Manhattan loft #7A at 497 Greenwich Street closed on April 16, just less than a month after going to contract. Not many Manhattan residential real estate agents make Page Six (I hope), but that august source seems to think this sale happened after a l

The odyssey of #7B at 260 Park Avenue South is given public notice of a successful conclusion in this weekend's Just Sold section of the NY Post's Real Estate Section. As noted, it took 374 days for this new Manhattan loft to close at $3.45mm off the (mos

Tip of the Manhattan Loft Guy hat to Gothamist for pointing to the NY Post article and one in the Daily News reporting that the coop board at 32 Gramercy Park South has sued an owner over holiday decorations. The articles are not crystal clear about exact
