Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick want to escape the paparazzi: "According to New York magazine, the pair has been looking at a $17.8 million home in the more private East Village." [NY Mag] via [SFGate]
Christadoran goes head-to-head with Jerry the Peddler--and others who would label him Yuppie Scum. Maybe SJP will help take the heat off him when she comes East. [Voice] via [Curbed]
In the ongoing search for a better term than "gentrification," which barely touches the tremendous sea change occuring in NYC right now, we've tried Vongerichtification. Now let's try "demographic inversion," offered by Alan Ehrenhalt in The New Republic. [via Curbed]

a.k.a. The Book of Lamentations:
a bitterly nostalgic look at a city in the process of going extinct
- Jeremiah Moss
- THE BOOK:
"We should all buy Jeremiah Moss’s book, Vanishing New York." --Sarah Jessica Parker
“Essential reading for fans of Jane Jacobs, Joseph Mitchell, Patti Smith, Luc Sante, and cheap pierogi.” --Vanity Fair
"a vigorous, righteously indignant book that would do Jane Jacobs proud." --Kirkus Reviews
THE BLOG:
"the go-to hub for those who lament New York's loss of character." --Crain's
"No one takes stock of New York's changes with the same mixture of snark, sorrow, poeticism, and lyric wit as Jeremiah Moss." --Village Voice, Best of NY
“Jeremiah Moss…is the defender of all the undistinguished hunks of masonry that lend the streets their rhythm.” --Justin Davidson, New York Magazine
"One of the most thorough and pugnacious chroniclers of New York’s blandification." --The Atlantic, Citylab
"Hyperbolic and combative, tireless and passionate." --Salon
I saw SJP walking her dog at Charles Street a couple of weeks ago, and when she saw me heading her way, she had this befuddled look and turned around and walked back to her home; I avoided her instead by walking across the street. I felt like shouting at her and be thanking her, sarcastically, for turning NYC into vapid land. She must really feel guilty by bringing these hordes of tourists and paparazzis in the West Village. She ain't no sweetheart at all. Now she wants to move to the EV, yet the people at 66 perry street are stuck with all these tourists taking picture of thier stoop. Way to go SJP -- spineless coward. No wonder Mr. Bradshaw cheated on you.
ReplyDeleteoh for the love of god.... please tell me this SJP rumor is a joke. She just can't move over here, she's ruined enough neighborhoods already - this summer has been the worst with these tourist mobs. Why can't she just move to Westchester - why are we all being tortured by this woman? I have to go take another xanax now...
ReplyDeleteher EV neighbors might be more belligerent than her old diggs.
ReplyDeleteWhen on earth was the east village known as "private"??? God - shouldn't these people live on Park Avenue where people are used to dealing this crap? - BN
