I’d get in trouble if I told you the real history of this building….

Some Hints

• Charlotte has nothing to do with it and doesn’t even like me anymore.
• Shoes and globalization.
• Radhika, while attractive, knew nothing of the former owners.
• The roses and most of the original landscaping are still beautiful.
• The original title of this post going to be, The Princess, The Shoemaker and The Park Avenue Murders.

My dad used to talk about something called “friction fires.” Friction fires were caused by the friction generated between a match and a mortgage payment. A similar term would be (ethnic slur)+ lightning.

In this case it is a simple problem of a beautiful building sitting on a very valuable piece of land. Home Depot couldn’t topple it, Wal*mart was severely maimed but condos always win.

Polaroid is dead. Long live Polaroid.

The new Polaroid film will be something called zInk or zero ink. It is a small printer that produces cute little pictures from your cellphone or other device. I will probably buy one and hate it. Polaroids were amazing because they were awful and I feel like this new replacement will be good in the bad way.

The horror.

I’m selling a camera I don’t like. It is ok but doesn’t set me on fire.
