I live in the building on the right, not in the World War 1 statue or the chess table or park.

― tehresa, Tuesday, 22 January 2008 06:28 (seventeen years ago)

a couple of months ago the bf and i went and looked at this swanky newish condo development in pasadena -- just to look, it was hella expensive -- and it had all these communal game rooms and hdtv screening rooms and a gym and a piano lounge and and and and, and NO ONE WAS USING ANY OF IT. it looked really desperate and sad.

― get bent, Tuesday, 22 January 2008 06:33 (seventeen years ago)

piano lounge!!!!!!

yeah i find it hard to imagine that the ppl buying these are suddnenly going tob e like 'hay guys let's be a community!' and hang out together and meditate.

― tehresa, Tuesday, 22 January 2008 06:35 (seventeen years ago)

the piano lounge = an electric piano with a midi interface, in the middle of a room with some "modern" furniture

― get bent, Tuesday, 22 January 2008 06:40 (seventeen years ago)

well, at least we have the electric/midi piano in our house
does ikea couch count as modern furniture???

― tehresa, Tuesday, 22 January 2008 06:51 (seventeen years ago)

you high roller you

― get bent, Tuesday, 22 January 2008 06:52 (seventeen years ago)

haha none of it's mine nd the couch has a wonky leg.

― tehresa, Tuesday, 22 January 2008 06:53 (seventeen years ago)

xactly...selling these places with all the community rooms goes against everything that drives ny real estate. what new yorker wants a goddamned piano or game room to "share"

― bb, Tuesday, 22 January 2008 15:04 (seventeen years ago)

i wld not mind the pool, though!

― tehresa, Tuesday, 22 January 2008 20:28 (seventeen years ago)

i wld dig the idea of a community room if other people from the building actually bro'ed down there and were friendly. i think it's the fact that no one hangs out in these rooms that keeps people from hanging out there -- kind of the "no one wants to dine in an empty restaurant" syndrome.

― Swole Miss (Nilmar Honorato da Silva), Friday, 23 November 2012 17:28 (twelve years ago)

yeah that's a pretty good deal imo, although you'd need to put a lot of money on to it if you wanted to upgrade it from art school/early 20's living conditions. despite the space, it needs a lot of work. the exposed bricks shed mortar dust constantly, the floors are warped, and the bathrooms and kitchens on the top two floors are a joke. also the service elevator wasn't functional when I was there but maybe that's no longer the case.

otoh, that stretch of neighborhood is getting hella gentrified so I'm told

― ❏❐❑❒ (gr8080), Friday, 23 November 2012 18:02 (twelve years ago)
