Landlord honored the agreement Cannon originally made. Cannon pretty much got what he wanted...below market rent for the past ten years plus money from sale of the building. Landlord is under no obligation to have to continue the agreement beyond the originally terms just because some individuals believe Cannon/Tribes is an "storied institution". What Cannon sold the building to Lorraine for is irrelevant because because none of you assisted her in the purchase. And none of you now are stepping up to the plate to be Cannon's donor.<br /><br />Put up or shut up...<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-4965025030640150112014-04-11T20:45:57.740-04:002014-04-11T20:45:57.740-04:00He didn't make a profit he barely broke even y...He didn't make a profit he barely broke even you repairs upkeep taxes and mortgage interest etc. He is elderlyand blind and felt he was unable to manage the entire building any longer.

Yeah, Steve made some bad business decisions but he did more to foster the arts and cultural dialogue on the LES and NYC in general than ... (name an artist). Steve is the last of the bohemians, truly. He did not take the money and run... he plowed it back into Tribes and trying to maintain an old building. If you didn't notice, there's not a ton of arts funding just swimming around to sustain spaces like this. What's sick is what the owner Lorraine tried to do, turn the other floors into an illegal flop house.

He wanted to have his cake and eat it, too.<br /><br />Btw what would stop him from reselling the building again, this time with a donor? So this guy needs to take a hike, live in his apartment around the corner, and do things AGT did in other places.<br /><br />DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
