The Towers Board of Directors adjourned its meeting on Tuesday without getting to everything on its agenda. It met again Wednesday evening to discuss the remaining issues.
Board members considered proposals to replace all the boilers at an estimated cost of approximately $800,000. The Board was told that doing so could save the [...]

Live Blogging: Follow-Up
by Matthew Kelly
In the midst of Tuesday’s open board session, my internet connection went down, taking with it nearly 40 minutes-worth live blogging from the meeting. That explains the sudden silence some of you may have seen. As it it turns out, not a lot was missed.

Live Blogging: Board Meeting, Feb. 23
9:40. With the board unable to decide anything, your humble blogger departs for the night, frustrated, tired, and desperately trying to keep from expressing his true feelings in the name of live-blogging objectivity. Good night!
9:24. Norm reminds everyone that there is a motion on the floor. He asks for everyone to state their position. Norm [...]

by Lisa Bregman
STREET PARKING AND SNOW MOUNDS
Let’s get organized! Who knows when the weather will warm up and/or rain will fall and wash away the mounds of snow lining New Mexico Avenue, Cathedral Avenue and all the side streets, where many Towers residents park their primary or secondary vehicles? We are working with the [...]

Back Door Blog: 43rd St. Parking
by Lisa Bregman
Motorcycle owners living at the Towers as well as a few who don’t live here discovered that 43rd Street is private (not privately owned, just away from the madding crowd), and there are no meters or 2-hour time restrictions; vehicles without zone 3 stickers can — and do — remain parked there indefinitely.

Back Door Blog: Fox Sightings
by Lisa Bregman

He walks around, on occasion, on the lawn bordered by 43rd Street and New Mexico Avenue. And he has been seen on the driveway leading to the loading dock. [...]

Owner Opinion: No to New Crown Molding
by Jonathan Gifford, 915W
I would like to express my extreme concern about the crown moldings proposed for the building as part of the new fire system. These are currently installed as examples on the 7th floor of both buildings.
These crown moldings are extremely unattractive. They are shiny, unpainted plastic, with visible joints every 10 [...]
