Way way way back in thos...Ah, this brings me back. Way way way back in those halycon days when the East Village was cheap and dangerous, I rented a share at 410 E. 13th st, my own bedroom in a two-bedroom. My rent-stabilized roommate scrupulously charged me half the rent, even though it wasn't the law, and I paid $325 for a tiny bedroom with one window overlooking the courtyard of 408 E. 13th st, which at that time had not been built up with the big black thing that you can see in the first photo. T<br /><br />here was a weed tree in the space then, and it made my little room a pleasant place (I couldn't afford an airconditioner, and with just one window I didn't want one anyway). <br /><br />My roommate taught me how to read tarot cards, and I still have the how-to-read-the-tarot book she gave me and the deck of cards we bought together.<br /><br />She and all the other tenants are long gone. I went to an open house in that building just to see what the apartments looked like now; a space identical to the one we lived in now rents for over $4K. The tree is gone, and the courtyard is mostly filled in with that black thing. <br /><br />Sic transit gloria mundi...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-54252455011510217862012-06-12T18:28:54.593-04:002012-06-12T18:28:54.593-04:00This is what the listing says about the commercial...This is what the listing says about the commercial space:<br /><br />"Currently subject to a month-to-month lease, the retail space can be delivered vacant on a sale or the current tenant is willing to renew the lease"EV Grievehttp://evgrieve.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-53310356794756805882012-06-12T18:05:55.468-04:002012-06-12T18:05:55.468-04:00Does this mean that Hair Kuwayama will be vacating...Does this mean that Hair Kuwayama will be vacating?
