if at first … 24 East 22 Street closes after trying again, and again
a long strange tripThis is one of those posts that changed 180 degrees in a long gestation. It had a simple starting point (a Manhattan loft sold that had been marketed in 2006), with an extended series of didn’t sell…

flipping for fun, not profit, in Soho
