Morning View: Low Down Luxury

It will still be interesting to see the evolution of the "luxury condos" on 24th Street between Florida and Bryant across from Sugar Lump. Surprisingly, they are supposed selling at $500,000 to $750,000 which is not outrageous in this neighborhood. What what will spell for the character of the neighborhood will be interesting. I meant to ask the guy face down on the sidewalk in front of the Frida Kahlo mural up the block this morning, but he took the fifth on the issue. Meanwhile, the muralists are taking to the utility boxes around the block. Nice to see that they used as inspiration the trinket on the right at JunkThief's non-luxury, non-condo flat. It was a recent gift from Mel Gibson. "I saw it in a window outside of Tikal and just had to nab it for you," he said, looking at my menorahs suspiciously.
