When I got my moving van I walked by the Chelsea Hotel, something I had been meaning to set aside for a trip. Many of the most famous artists flocked to this hotel to paint, write, sing, etc. after it opened in the 50's. It gave me a little jump in my step to think of the creativity that flowed out of this building.
Imagine my surprise when Eddie called me up one day asking if I could help him on a job directly next door to the same inspiring hotel. Eddie has been working on this building for over 10 years now. And as winter takes its toll, it's not a pretty job, but the building gets a little makeover.
Unfortunately the foundation isn't exactly flat. There is a pretty decent slant the roof that is collecting water in a pool. Eddie and I discusses some ways we might remedy this in the summer and chatted about some of the people he has seen coming out of the hotel over the years.
We did a rough patch job and decided we needed to have a Guyanese roof party this summer.
So the building houses a modeling agency and I got this photo on the way out. Make your own judgments.
