1800 which is a little much for that end of prospect heights, but no brokers fee. i dont know the sq ft.

the elevator-chopped-in-half building is a block from my work and the elevator-set-on-fire building is four blocks from my apartment
so yeah, elevators are not seeming like the place to be

$1800 for a 1BR in the less nice part of Prospect Heights? At first that sounded insane, but then I saw that it was an elevator building

man there was something i read recently that was talking abt the legality of this case where a bike messenger got decapitated by an elevator but i cant remember what it was
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Monday, 19 December 2011 21:01 (twelve years ago) link
it's totally legal for an elevator to decapitate a bike messenger btw because bike messengers are obnoxious

― Cooper Chucklebutt, Monday, 19 December 2011 21:04 (twelve years ago) link
Well, to be fair, it was the Mets in the NL Championship Series he was watching so not really just "a baseball game".
― shakur rump (I left my login in El Sandboxo), Monday, 19 December 2011 21:28 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah. It was more just a "lol @ sad office life" comment. I've already done the "working late but screwing around" thing before, wondering all the while wtf I was doing.

visited the grand central apple store, it's enormous and doesn't really feel like 'a store'. anyway it's a big win for apple, most famous train station in the country is now just an apple advertisement. mta shoulda got a better deal for the space but I dont think they had much leverage in the discussions.
― iatee, Tuesday, 20 December 2011 00:52 (twelve years ago) link
any idea why the previous rent was so low for that space?
― nice catch cuauhtemoc blanco niño (dayo), Tuesday, 20 December 2011 00:54 (twelve years ago) link
well it's not that it was low or high it's that apple will be making $$$$ and iirc w/ other apple stores the city has managed to get a cut.
― iatee, Tuesday, 20 December 2011 01:07 (twelve years ago) link
basically the value of that space as a restaurant (which it was before) or some random retail store and as 'an apple store' are very different things
― iatee, Tuesday, 20 December 2011 01:08 (twelve years ago) link
yeah - just pointing out that apple is paying something like 5x what the previous tenants were for that space
dunno what the revenue sharing deal is w/ the other locations
― nice catch cuauhtemoc blanco niño (dayo), Tuesday, 20 December 2011 01:09 (twelve years ago) link
yeah but they're really making their presence known there
I dunno it's interesting it feels very 'of the time we live in'
― iatee, Tuesday, 20 December 2011 01:12 (twelve years ago) link
aka -'growing old' :(

I know, I can't believe they added Jobs to the constellations on the ceiling.

I still don't quite think of retail inside grand central as being fully part of nyc, as silly as that might sound

Miss the NYU Posman store, much bigger, lot of remaindered and imported books on sale. Website says that they also have Chelsea Market and Rockefeller Center stores.
― wang dang google doodle (James Redd), Tuesday, 20 December 2011 14:41 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, I used to go to that Posman's on University (yes, it is Posman's, not Posner's); it was a really good bookstore.

18,000 cabs so this is def gonna be 'a thing'. prob won't be hard at all to hail one if you live in brownstoney brooklyn or western queens, really anywhere near a major subway stop. outer borough cabs and a bikeshare program, old school new yorkers are gonna grumble but the city's making some pretty big strides in the next few years.
