There is a another way...

If you like moody decor, you'll love "The Bakery," a 1bd, 1ba, co-op in New York City (Midtown, Manhattan). It's in a converted former bakery, so it's got a great industrial look, too. $1.275M + $2,061mo. maintenance fee.

There's a large living space with a great fireplace.

The fireplace is beautiful. I like the stone they chose.

There's a generous space for dining. I'm surprised that it's a pretty large unit for only a 1 bd. in Midtown.

The small kitchen is high end.

I wonder if, when they converted it, they painted the bricks black, and chose the dark colors, or if the current owners did.

It says that there's just one bedroom, but there's also this flex space that could be an office, guest room, or den.

Actually, the primary bedroom isn't very big. I wonder if the mirror is a closet or just an illusion.

Aren't the hallway walls unusual?

The bathroom is so full of mirrors plus a sink and large shower.

During college, I lived at a 32-member student housing cooperative where I had more fun there than I did in all my other years of college combined and met

So, there's a wonderful food co-op in our neighborhood that is really struggling right now. They've been a cornerstone of the community for decades and they're in danger of closing.

Their motto is "Food for people, not profit."

If that vibes with you, and you have a buck to spare, or share this post, it would be awesome. Thanks y'all.

NLA is *barely* a walkable ... half-city, saved by the fact cars aren’t solid and you can jump about 12 feet.

But at least it does have a Co-Op. Co-Ops are cool. Also, neurodivergent hero (Xenoblade Chronicles is *really* good about ND representation without needing to tell you) Phog has a heart to heart here.

The Co-op Wars

The creators of the documentary The Co-op Wars conducted some of their research in the Minneapolis History Collection at Central Library. Check out the new documentary, which "tells the story of the idealistic youth who tried to build an alternative to corporate capitalism, the violent struggle that almost tore them apart, and their eventual success in ways they never foresaw."

The new 1-hour documentary, The Co-op Wars, airs October 4, 2021 on TPT. Watch a trailer and learn more about the film.
