It's good to see that some people have the same ideas that we have -- that some places, the Chelsea included, are not just all about money. Sometimes, even with all of the money, you can't improve upon perfection. In a recent interview in The New York Observer, Kent Barwick, president of the Municipal Art Society gives us his thoughts on the matter:
"I’m one of those romantics that love the Chelsea Hotel. I went there about 25 years ago just to say I spent the night there. I remember the room was fabulous, with this great terrace, and the furniture was like Route 66. Things are always in peril, you know? You can take and renovate the heart out of a place and improve the cash flow, and it just won’t have it anymore. The jury has to be out on that for a while."
