Remembering those art deco bldgs that the new people don't appreciate and run them down. My friend just moved from Marion Avenue and 201st Street to FL. She had a gorgeous sunken living Rm and to die for apt, however, couldn't take it anymore. She said would you believe the Supt painted her mahogany elevator black.
I still live in Pelham Bay, Bx and almost took an apt in Pelham Pkwy with a sunken living room and walk in closets, however, on the way back home, I decided that it wasn't for me and will stay in Pelham Bay for the rest of my life. Pelham Pkwy was so exclusive when I was going to Columbus HS in the 60's, however, is changing rapidly.
I'll bet those people that gave up their gorgeous apartments to move to Coop City were sorry.
