Just when we thought it was going to warm up a little, it snows again. However for some reason the icy winds didn't follow suite, so when you walk outside it's chilly, 34 degrees right now, but not all that cold. The only difference is there's snow everywhere. There's a story in the paper that says the area around CBGB's is about to jack up the rent prices and they might have to move because there rent will double. It's already at $20,000 a year. Imagine if that doubled! I have a friend who bought her first house in 1997 in Louisiana for $37,000 brand new, and it was a very nice home. That gives you an idea of the geographic difference in the standards of living. Across the street from us is a little collectibles store called 5th Dimension, and the grandson of the owner of CBGB's works there. He wasn't at liberty to discuss the details for legal reasons but I sort of got the impression that they'll somehow work around it. It would suck if they had to move. More later.
