Mary Valle: Via Elizabeth Castelli, here's a look at a mostly-gutted, vacant and ready-for-finishin' disused Anglican convent. Apparently this gem of a building is to be turned into "luxury condos" -- which is good because it will keep the abbey standing, but is bad because, you know. Condos. Nothing against condos. I think I'd rather just call them apartments. The word "condo" just makes me think of divorced dads and widows and/or slightly sordid vacation rentals in sunny or snowy locations. The word "condo" just makes me think that, even though they are apparently keeping the original staircase, it's going to be all wall-to-wall and mirrored closet doors and barstools. And what will become of the ailing nuns' chapel? Clearly, I should purchase this property and make it into my dream home -- fully restored as an abbey.
