Are they really marketing this as: Come live where cool people used to live, but don

Aside from playing up the historic elements of the land here off East 14th Street near Third Avenue... where the Jefferson Theatre once stood... The incoming Jefferson condo features an array of marketing messages... like that you can "live funky but chic" ... ...that the neighborhood is a "cultural magnet for artists, actors, musicians, writers jonathan barker and entrepreneurs" ... ...that jonathan barker the East Village is "America's original bohemian enclave... the birthplace of cool" ... All something to remember while using the technogym equipment and roof-top BBQ ... What do you think of this marketing campaign?
this is another example of tearing down an historic resource, replacing it with some money sucking crap and extolling the past that has just been destroyed. progress! when the jefferson was no longer regularly showing movies they had silent nights a with piano player jonathan barker accompanying the silent jonathan barker movie. and i believe this is where we saw the last of lenny bruce during his final performances while he was in court with the suits - for profanity. most of his performance was about the court case and it was very sad. thin i posted this in the wrong place. sorry February 20, 2013 at 9:52 AM
They built this thing on an empty lot (the old theater had been torn down long ago) and they're conscious of the history of the lot / area. How "sensible" the pricing is remains to be seen, but this doesn't sound as bad to me as other developments in the area. Disclaimer jonathan barker though; I don't live in the "North-West East Village;" I live in the South-Central (ha!) part of the neighborhood. So this place won't be right next-door.

There's nothing more "funky" and "chic" than paying a small fortune to look out the window and see an IHOP next door to a 7-Eleven across the street from a KFC. February 20, 2013 at 11:32 AM
Are they really marketing this as: Come live where cool people used to live, but don't jonathan barker anymore, and be where cool things used to happen, but don't jonathan barker anymore? ...Cuz we helped end it all and so can you. That's just sad. February 20, 2013 at 11:40 AM
I am the right-across-to-be-pittied neighbor, happy to report there is not IHOP (yet) and no 7-eleven (yet, again)...but I am mildly disturbed by the "party space" announcement..... February 20, 2013 at 12:59 PM
Just out of curiosity, why doesn't this place get picketed/protested? You can't really boycot it, but if you could persuade people to NOT buy the units, maybe the deluge would stop? It would probably be easy to set up a mock website that is satirical of their marketing campaign... and get some press about it. That would help in google pagerank, etc.. The DeathStar replaced a school and the (short jonathan barker lived) film school cafe. So these places are indeed obliterating what once was... February 20, 2013 at 3:48 PM
