a view from recently demolished 669 Genesee Street


House by house...

Rode by 91 Northampton this morning and nearly fell off my bike.

Someone is spending a ton of cash on this totally distressed property that I thought for sure was headed off to the land-fill. It's been like totally derelict and neglected as far back as I recall. 91 is directly across the street from this amazingly beautiful home and just a block from Artspace.

According to City records this is a two family house that's assessed for only $4500...and has switched owners a number of times during the last 10 years for less than $1000...

Remember 38 Northampton was sold in less than 30 days - list to sale.

    This is great. I think more people are reading your blog than comment.
    The photos you put up really focus on
    these neglected beauties.

There is a quality even meaner than outright ugliness or disorder, and this meaner quality is the dishonest mask
of pretended order, achieved by ignoring or suppressing the real order that is struggling to exist and to be served.
