I live about 4 blocks from the manufactured neighbourhood of Liberty Village. Until about 10 years ago it was decaying industrial warehouses that had been converted into lofts by poor artists and other marginalized folk (including lots of bike messengers). Since it was zoned industrial these lofts were not covered by Landlord/Tenant legislation - these people were basically living there "illegally" (insofar as they were renting commercial space and living there). Then developers bought the warehouses and factories, renovated them, added lots of new buildings and sold them as "loft condos" and made millions. The old tenants are gone, replaced by young upscale professionals. Anyway, I won't be going to Mildred's on Valentine's day or any other day - too expensive for me... cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
