This rental notice caught our eye (must have been the five exclamation points) in today's New York Times:
Jimi Hendrix Lives On!!!!!
More like his old house lives on. But, yes, starting April 1, you can rent "The Cottage," the unique home at 50 W. 8th Street that Hendrix once lived. Can be yours for $7,950 a month. (Hendrix's legendary Electric Lady Studios is at 52 W. 8th Street.)
The online version of the ad in the Times doesn't mention Hendrx. Neither does the listing at Buchbinder & Warren.
Still, sounds nice, huh?

Great shopping? Like all those shoe stores that went out of business on 8th Street?
By the way, LES native Norman Buchbinder, a principal in Buchbinder & Warren, died early last year. He was 84. The feature obituary in The Villager mentions "The Cottage."
Another signature property he owned known as “The Cottage,” fronting into the backyard garden at 50 W. Eighth St., was once the residence of rock-and-roll legend Jimi Hendrix.
