ive just gotten the lease for the 1500+ loft on the cover of eu. im in
on feb 8th— my wife, the head illustrator for the wall street journal, comes in feb 18th. even though our plans to acquire 324 n broad were rejected, it frees up our funds for our move to downtown. were actually looking to buy downtown, hopefully 16flat as we talked to jim albertelli. Fawns hit it right, downtowns a good unknown band thats got me and my wife excited. like nycs east village WAS. but thats no more up there, but we see it right here. i like the way the ‘necks cringe when i say im moving downtown!!!
looking forward to seeing yall at our housewarming party!

“you arenâ€™t good at building your own meal”

Geez, I have to do that at home! :)

Joey, I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I loves me some Mongos. If you didn’t like it, maybe its because you aren’t good at building your own meal :-)

Demolas is pretty freaking awesome.

The food is just exactly like the family outfit on the jersey boardwalk, and its great.

The guy and his women are pretty engaging as well.

I loved the story in the EU, and I think its great that they are finally doing some editorial that is worth reading!

Valuable as Folio might be, they don’t cover everything in the city worth covering. EU is moving into their own territory, in my humble opinion, and its about time some one did.

Bosworth owned and operated a small hipster pizza place downtown and hes got insight into urban issues that few other people in journalism have in this town.

I can’t wait to see more.

And incidentally, the Landing flap was ridiculous.

I like the Asian place upstairs. Ask for Korean food and they will bring some good stuff, all the little bowls of pickled veggies, kim chee, etc…

Dan, Mongo’s does not rule. I have been there twice and did not like it either time. Maybe I need to try again…

Hehe – I agree! That was pretty funny. Heck, you know, I don’t even understand half the crap you all talk about on here most of the time. It’s about like listening to my 16-year-old daughter and her friends. Sounds like a bunch of space aliens. Heck, I’m almost afraid to ask what most of it means. Anyway, I’m just trying to make the point that “old” people (those over 30) shouldn’t be scared out of downtown/Springfield/wherever because, oftentimes, they are the ones with the “real” jobs (money) and will help keep the area alive.

By the way, Joe, Mongo’s Rules, and its at the landing…

I’ll make a fortune in recycling Pabst cans. You can be my helper. We’ll give each other horrid haircuts and listen to bands with impossibly long names that tend to sound like a marching band farting in an elevator.

We’ll have business cards with so many buzzwords on them that the pure synergystic light will melt the face off of mere mortals.

At the end of a day of hard work, we’ll both retire to our floor on the strandoplex and web 2.0 the shit out of each other.
