Open Thread Wednesday

There are lots of potential sources. First, I would access directories like Coles or REDI for past years.Which RE entities owned buildings in the area and the time period you’re interested in. A LOT of RE groups especially years ago, span decades. A lot of older brokerages did business over decades. There are apartment dwellers, including garden apts…who have held apartments for 40 plus years, they often have old photos clearly showing building features. A lot of families have owned buildings for long periods. But this being the Heights, you’ll have to deal with trusts. One source are older family owned contractors/home reno firms that were active in the Heights pre ’65. Look at old area publication’s ads for names. A lot of the old, well run, contractors have job records which contain before and after photos these may still have been retained today. Good luck.

Check my commercial account @TrillionaireVintage. The other is my long dormant personal account.

Thanks ; ))

No, but there are guys from like 20 years ago who are now suddenly back and we’ve had over 50 year old types found with weapons. But its the direction of the city were really talking about here.

She has seven cats in 500 sq feet, pays $400 a month, rarely leaves her apartment, steals packages from the neighbors and runs a scam where she rents out her apartment via an Airbnb like site without mentioning the seven cats and the sickly smell of cat urine that fills even the hall. According to the super, her guests all have to leave – it’s seriously unhealthy – and lose their $500 deposit.

How would you like it?

Can we bring the weekly police report back to this blog, especially since the warm crime season is looming. Thanks!

Does instagram still plan to move away from chronological posts? That would blow up your handsome formatting.

The bot strikes out…A.I. fails…..

Algorithms in (decline)

SB, step back off the cliff of reason and fall into the crevasse of paranoia. There, you will find the alternate reality of some on this blog.

Gotta say, you make it sound like a lot more fun than a bunch of jerks with internet connections and a few too many spare minutes throughout each day (I speak inclusively of myself here).

Believe me, I’ve called 911, 311 and made written complaints to the management company.

I’m not complaining here to accomplish anything. I shared the story to support the notion that there is a rise in crime – much of it that goes under-reported or unreported as addressed above.

Thanks, Reggie!

Thankfully, it looks like a) they’re not changing the algorithm and b) the changes made would effect the scrolling feed of users one follows – not their homepage which would still be chronological.

That’s my latest understanding ; ))

Thursday March 31st shortly past 7:00pm on Cadman Plaza West just North of 75 Henry…

A group of teenagers aggressively blocked the path of a petite young lady walking north. One boy pushed another boy into the young lady.

I firmly said “Guys, leave her alone. Seriously!”
At that point they teenagers rapidly walked south on Cadman Plaza West and the young lady was on her way.

Well, this is exactly what we’re now, more and more, seeing. All manner of vermin are now becoming more and more emboldened. We are simply spiraling backward in this city…

Very interesting. I appreciate both your and Andrew’s efforts to rescue this open thread with something a little more interesting than paranoia about street crime. :)
