The article did mention the doors have separate addresses, which is what made me think that was a possible explanation. I know a little bit about how condos work in Illinois, although not in NYC, and it makes me think that the below-market-rate apartments are probably managed by a separate entity than the condo…

There are two reasons I can think of for the separate doors: the doormen, which are probably paid for with the condo residents’ monthly HOA dues, which are probably astronomical. And for the purposes of having a separate address, which is probably for legal reasons having to do with taxes, rentals vs. owned units,…

My condo doesn’t have overhead fixtures in the bedroom. It was converted from an apartment building. Come to think of it, I don’t think any of my apartments have had overhead fixtures in the bedroom.

Ever been to Chicago’s South Side?

Yeah, I know.

Considering the devastation a Walmart store causes, it’s not an entirely inaccurate description.

As much as I fucking hate Walmart, I have a feeling that the stores they’re closing will create a lot of food deserts. :/

I hope they close the Neighborhood store near my office. That place is an eyesore.

Yeah, that’s ringing some bells.

I love that movie. I love that they’re playing Spoon at the party. I love Lizzy Caplan. Love it all.
