I also remember that that building had several major rent strikes in the 70's/80's.<br /><br />Three Lives used to be located up the block on Seventh Avenue South. They used to hold readings upstairs. Larry Kramer worked the cash register for fun some nights.<br /><br />I don't remember Angelo's being across the street from Julius'. I used to hang out up the block at the Ninth Circle, and I just can't remember this store being there.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02121677765340808430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-35297222368417699832013-04-04T09:58:16.059-04:002013-04-04T09:58:16.059-04:00It was indeed very possible and in fact, not very ...It was indeed very possible and in fact, not very rare. One of my childhood friends grew up with her sibling and parents in a ramshackle townhouse on Charles Street in the 80s/early 90s. They were about as middle class as they come, the father a professor at Queens College and the mother a secretary for New York Telephone. Of course, by 1997 they cashed out (they had purchased the place in the early 60s I believe, for a pittance) got their millions and moved to Florida.

He was a very successful playwright who was struggling over his current play because of his current wife's leaving him, and all of her kids moving in with him. His townhouse has always been one of my fantasy places to live.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
