The Philebrity Zeitgeist: Yo, We Should Buy This
· Attention venture capitalists: Get at us. We just decided we want to turn the old 26th District po-po station into a debauched mansion/compund/studio rife with sex, drugs and creativity. It just seems like the right thing to do. Hook us up with a co-sign and the down payment and we’ll let you come to the launch party.
· Yes, we are totally, totally drinking the Kool-Aid® regarding “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa,” the debut seven-inch by Vampire Weekend. Here’s something you may not know: Space 1026er Max Lawrence put that shit out on his Free News Projects label. Here’s another thing you may not know: Vampire Weekend and Public Record are part of this whole new “preppy bongo rock” that we are hitching our sails to, even if no one else (besides Noah Baumbach, who these bands seem tailor made for) ever winds up caring. We’re fucking believers, baby.
· Holy shit, how did Winnie from The Wonder Years get even hotter than she was when she was 12? Of course that sounds kind of predatory and gross, but yo: Welcome to the United States.

Unfortunately, they want $700k for the old 26th & I’ve heard that it’s in pretty awful shape inside.
You can check out the actual listing on the realtor’s site at http://kathleengessler.lnfre.com/falcon/webui/PropertyDetailsPage.aspx?MLSNumber=4880461&CompanyId=5

@ zempf: I live around the corner from that sweet bitch of a building and I’ve heard the same. And you’ve gotta do it up nice because it’s a historical landmark. Between the 26th and those humongo old warehouses/factories down by the York/Dauphin El, that area is screaming redevelopment + cheap rents.

When is somebody gonna turn the Harbison’s Dairy milk bottle into a condo?
