change, big change
Back in the day, I worked around the corner of this Hotel. This was a rough and tumble neighborhood that hosted at this location – a SRO homeless squat of a place, I dont know i’d classify it as a hotel, more like a residence – nasty, drunks, druggies, fighters and troublemakers all called this dark, all business block (no residences) block home and hung out. It was crazy I scrambled past this block a few times, leaving the office late at night.. The park on the flip side of this block – Madison Square Park – was also a pit, with an analogous set of challenges.. Well – 26 years later and this is what happened to the SRO – it turned into this. – a fancy pants, but weird as hell Hotel. ha, if they only knew the nature of the ghosts that haunt this place…
