Shrdlu Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 Thanks for those classics, Chris. For some reason, they remind me of James Thurber, lol. The play title today would be "Do you give or do you take?". Quote

Randy Twizzle Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 June 2, 1928 Makes you want to cry! This ad for the same apartment building from Sept 1934 shows how real estate values went down during the Depression. Quote
Christiern Posted June 5, 2008 Author Report Posted June 5, 2008 The insider coop price for my apartment was $8,700 in 1975--I paid the required $620 down but was persuaded to rescind ("this is a bad time to buy"). I forfeited my down payment, but even worse: the current price for my apartment (yes, I'm still here) is one and a quarter million! Anyway, apropos apartments, we return to the New Yorker magazine and an item from the October 23, 1937 issue: Quote

seeline Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 (edited) I think my favorite thing from the "old" New Yorker was the "There Will Always Be an England" series. The press quotes they used were just amazing - absurd/silly humor at its best. Edited June 8, 2008 by seeline Quote
