They should have put hot tubs in the middle of the bedrooms. Yeahhhh.
9″22 – Nobody questioned how well Novo is doing.
Your insecurity is showing.
But hey, since you’ve got the Novo scoop, any clue on what’s happening over at Argyle? They seem to have stopped working weeks ago.
The USA is totaly over
7:59:
Novo raised prices on 4 separate occassions.
I think they’re doing just fine.
They’ve already made a profit from what I understand, and all of the units aren’t even sold yet.
Le Bleu seems like a great place to do some blow.
“Over 70% of the buyers at Novo and Crest are singles under 35.”
First off, that’s some might specific demographic info you’ve got there, wow.
Anyhoo, good luck to Le Doom. Perhaps they have finally found the right price: ONE THIRD of the original.
Can they make it on that? Can they last until the Avenue of the Fuglies blossoms into what it could be, given the necessary time, capital and political will?
My bet is no. I could be wrong, but so far this has been playing out exactly as expected.
Wrong, 7:32–that smell is The What, smoking a victory stogie on one of Le Bleu’s balconies.
I thought that smell was McDonald’s!
I can’t even believe this hotel is actually real and not some SNL skit. A lux hotel on the Gowanus Canal. Steve Martin could play the unctious and shady front desk clerk and the short comediene with the doll’s arm growing out of her head could be the bellhop.
I can’t believe somebody financed this.
No wonder our financial institutions are facing a meltdown.
