Show and tell! Or something like that. The building where I live is for sale. It's so spectacular I just had to show you monkeys. I'm in the first unit, where each time I return home I "Step back in time to the grandeur of a bygone era." My buddies (the owners) live upstairs. Any takers? Ha!
  • That page is very heavy on bandwidth BTW, all pictures are full size JPEGS scaled down with the height and width tags... It loaded like a dog.
  • Yes, ees mee pet peeeeeve. Gutsy posting your address, SideDish.
  • Hey SideDish, if your ROOM O'PUPPIES idea takes off, maybe you could buy the whole building. It looks lovely and I can see why you enjoy it so. Hope this doesn't mean you have to find new digs.
  • Yes, Sidey, are you gonna hafta move? Or expecting a rent increase over whatever frightening amount you're already paying? And can I crash on your couch? I asked first!
  • Not bad, not bad at all. I've never really understood the concept of a bedroom with sitting area though, exactly how many people are you planning to host in there?
  • I swear my grandma made me that exact same quilt. Come to think of it, I haven't seen it for a while...
  • Psst - Cali, a sitting area is a good place to throw your clothes.
  • The best part of your house, in my eyes, was your 'living space'...I liked the design.
  • "Location! Luxury! Legality!" ?? Legality as in, "No, we're not one of those other rip-off scammers..."?
  • I'm saving my 1.45 mil to by Amityville. I know it; I know it; I'm a poet.
  • Those lava lamps really add to the granduer of a bygone era . And that picture window is amazing!
  • No, I bet it's "Legality" as in, "the rental units are in compliance with the zoning or other legal requirements of the city of Washington D.C." meaning that as a landlord you are on firmer ground vis-a-vis your tenants.
  • I sent the link to my sister, who lives in DC, and told her she should buy it. She might almost be able to, counting on the rents from 2 units.
  • Is the cat included?
  • Wow Sidedish. You like like 4 blocks from where I used to work.
  • I just bought it. Now send me money.
  • Gutsy posting your address, SideDish. Nah, just piss off Something Awful, and they'll post your address, mobile phone number, vital statistics, and your mother's real DOB. Then they'll kick your cat. Nothing's secret anymore.
  • Can I post pictures of my motorcycle and the fact that I'm trying to sell it? I just want to share. I'll stop snarking now, I just had to say that this rubs me the wrong way.
  • Holy crap, people actually pay that much rent for an apartment? *cmonkey shakes his head and hugs his $250 a month rent*
  • I just had to say that this rubs me the wrong way. Doesn't bother me at all. The way the page loads, on the other hand ...
  • wow, iggy, you really thought i posted this TRYING TO SELL THIS? christ! you mean there are monkeys out there THAT HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY? fuck. no, no, NO, i just posted this because it's an exceptionally lovely building and i thought you guys might like to see it. my landlord did an amazing job with the renovation. it's fucking gorgeous. i feel honored to live here, and was excited there were actually photos online, and i wanted to share the pics with you guys. that's all. sorry to have offended anyone.
  • Wot Wolof said. Jeez, Iggy, chill.
  • Yeah, didn't see this as an attempt to sell it. SideDish doesn't own it, after all, and how many monkeys have that kind of cash, anyway? Those who do may feel free to post their addresses and times when they will be out of town on vacation.
  • oh, pshaw, privacy is overrated.
  • Na, I didn't read it as a sales attempt, just a glimpse of how the other half lives. Or used to live? So, are you outta there if it sells, Sidedish, or can you stay. Raised rent? Gimme the scoop. Oh, and it is a lovely building. Would have liked to see it when it was first built.
  • oh, pshaw, privacy is overrated. Well, Ashcroft thinks so... The Room of Puppies idea on the other hand, demands full support!
