I Remember You Well in the Chelsea Hotel

According to the excellent Living With Legends: Hotel Chelsea Blog, the Bard Family, who have managed the legendary Chelsea Hotel since the 40s, have been forced out by their board of directors, and the hotel’s manager, Stanley Bard, tossed out the door after 50 years. The new management group are the same folks who backed the conversion of Covenant House into the obnoxious South Beach resort-like Maritime Hotel and Richer Meier’s overrated, soulless glass towers on Perry Street.

It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway: No good whatsoever will come of this.
