Steve, I would appreciate it if you would send me a zip file. Thank you. Tom ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, May 11, 2004 4:33 PM Subject: [Phono-L] Victor Apartments in Camden update You may remember that I went to see the Victor Apartments in Camden when they first opened and the building was still being renovated. I posted pictures at that time. The first tenants moved in September and today I went back to visit. The building now 100 % finished and only unfinished areas are the commercial spaces (there a "Subway" shop and a dry cleaner. You still need to go pretty far for a quart of milk! Anyway, they would not let me take photos inside but I did go up to the roof deck which is at foot of the Nipper Tower and took a few photos. The bottom two levels of the tower are used as health club - no pool, mostly exercise bikes and treadmills. The building is 50% rented (Rents now $975/mo for a studio facing downtown Camden to $2500/ for a bi-level 2 bedroom facing Philly. ). When you enter the lobby where the guard sits there is a beautiful Oak Horn Victor (a V?). It was playing. They have ONE 12 inch 78 of what sounded like Stokowski and Philly Orchestra. When prospective tenants come in they wind it up and play it. Never did find out how often they change needles! The lobby has new Nipperabilia. A bunch of plastic ones and a new dealer sign. The bookshelfs have those Readers Digest Condensed Books in every pseudo library. The Tenants Lounge is called the Caruso Room and has framed Caruso pictures, catalogs and ads on the walks. The two meeting rooms available to tenants are called the Victrola Room and the Cabinet Room. And Every apartment has a plate with the Apt # and Nipper design on it. (All they are missing is the Nipper Gift Shop!). In the halls on main floor are framed catalog covers and Xeroxes of old postcards. Anyway, I thought I'd share the 6 photos I was able to take. AOL lets me store them safely (after being scanned by Antivirus). You SHOULD be able to see at this URL: http://tinyurl.com/2rtns If that doesn't work, I can send direct to folks as a .zip file. Enjoy!
