More and more tempting
Ok, so the mystery involving around 248 McKibbin is getting more interesting.
I litterally know everything involving this building. I know that it was built in the early 1940s. I know that it was used until somewhat recently as a sewing factory, in 2003 the owner of it was put away for tax fraud (in 1996).
I know the current owners of the building had it re-zoned, so it is residential, as opposed to 255 McKibbin (the lofts across the street) are very illegal. I know in apartment 4a there is a club called Drome, which is definately illegal. However searches about Drome came up nil. I’m thinking that it’s one of those weekend occasional things (or I’m hoping)
I know that the entire circumfrince of the building is about as big as a football field. I
know it has a roof deck, a organic food store down the street, Life Cafe isn’t too far, it’s 2 blocks from the L train, it has that really cool old school multiglass pane windows, it’s cold in the winter, brick in the apartments, I even know some of the tenant names (it’s like a badge of honor apparently), I know the landlords are cool with reconstructing the place (they’ll be an open call for that one on my myspace page), it has a basement that is used for huge parties and shows, the place is FLOODED with artists, they grill on the roof, and the parties… oh shit there are parties going on almost daily, I can even tell you that in the cafe downstairs (called potion) it takes a half hour to get a bagel toasted and the coffee is good, and it has free wi-fi.
There is one thing I can’t find, at all. In any of the places where all this information came up. If the FUCKING APARTMENTS HAVE BATHROOMS OR NOT!!!
Well, hopefully I’ll find that out tomorrow. I measured out this apartment. Roughly it’s 300 sq feet. So the one I want is over 2x bigger than this place. Considering the party I had last year I was able to fit roughly 20 or so people in here, I’m going to love to see what the anugerial bash can do. The original loft was 900 square feet roughly so it’s a happy medium.
