Like all things that once had their day, Le Cirque, The Plaza, The Oscar Wilde Memorial Book Shop (on Christopher Street)ect...room must be made for new incarnations...

There is a fatal flaw in the theory that places like the Chelsea can be kept alive on what is now no more than borrowed time and stories of long dead residents that in thier quest to find a higher consciousness, fell victum to thier own vices instead of contributing to the well being of the Chelsea those now dead have sent the hotel down a road looking for it's own $5bag of china white.

It's your own fault Ed. It's not the fault of a management company or some manager with a pention for the memo.
Be happy you took part in a special place and time Ed, but don't stagnate, fixate or fail to move to your own incarnation, in an effort to fight for what is now and forever will be a relict, and a remnant of what was an idelic commune of free thinkers, radicals, and gonzo tennants.
