Ah, hah!

Now we know that our exteemed Sharpshooter prefers buildings which have been
moved (twice is not enough) to those which haven't; buildings in the outer
boroughs which aren't threatened by Major Manhattan  Educational Institutions
(is your latest Who's Who listing going to include the honorary JD from NYU,
Chris?) to those that get in the way; buildings which had Living White
Superannuated Hippies (Dylan, ne' Zimmerman) in them to those which were
occupied by now-Dead White Men (Poe).

Where does that leave you on The Dakota--which had Dead White Superannuated
Hippie John Lennon, Dead White Leonard Bernstein, but Live Asian Yoko Ono?
Wanna think about it?  Me, neither.
