*Everyday Chatter
An unconfirmed rumor from a reader just came in: Residential rents at the Avalon Bowery are rising by almost 80%. Holy Wall Street crash! I guess Avalon needs the funds to take over Extra Place and turn it into a private mall. And what does this mean for businesses like the Bowery Wine Co.?

Wait, I don't get it, Avalon's rents are rising by 80%. Doesn't that tell us that Avalon is immune from this economy?
Um...I live in one of the Avalon buildings and just resigned a lease for a 2% raise from last year. In fact they are actually offering $500 to anyone who refers a tenant. This is complete B.S.
Interesting - do you live in one of the Avalons in the Bowery or one of the other locations? I heard this rumor of the rent increase too - maybe they just wanted to get rid of some particular tenants!
So the stroller mommies are leaving their kids on the street largely unattended now. I suppose it's just a logical extension of their hubris and carelessness considering how cavalier they are with their bicycles and laptops. To those people children are essentially just glorified accessories anyways - vain extensions of their narcisssistic personalities that are enitrely replaceable and upgradeable, not unlike a fancy new laptop.
Just curious...are those Avalon building full? I saw some apartments in there once that looked pretty awful (but hey granite countertops!). Every time I pass the buildings they seem about half-occupancy?
