I’ve seen the lot, its not such a bad lot to begin with. If it depreciated, its almost impossible that it could have gone that low. 30 K?! What are you a retard, or you think we are retards? This is venice beach, theres no way that lot could be 30 k. also, el bordello alexandra never depreciated. when Tony bought the apartment building it cost him 500 k now the apartment is worth over 2.5 mil. when he first bought it, the building was very rundown. when his crew knocked down the walls to put new ones up and to put filler inside, they found really old documents stating prices for sex. The name on the price list was el bordello alexandra. Hence the current name. Tony wanted to make this apartment building an art piece for venice. He got local artists to paint the mural/portraits, and the gargoyles are a very important part of history, they were meant to protect the people inhabiting the place they guarded. also you can make fun of him all you want but hes the one who’s getting rich. for the 2 bedroom up top he charges 3k a month.

That said, Alexander Ruler Of The World is really, really pulling out all the stops. I can't help wondering if it is some weird immigrant thing or someone just lost their mind. Would LOVE to know though. Too bad: I used to live 2 blocks from there and that should be a great area. Who knows, the swirls, when finished, may put the Alexander over the top. Can't the city stop these people? NO ONE beats the House of Davids @ X-mas… those few weeks alone make it unbeatable (that plus the SUV & mercedes with matching HORRIBLE paint jobs).

I live down the street from that Ruler of the World, Alexander. He just popped up in the last few weeks. Hideously magenta! Must avert eyes when passing by or they sting for hours! Alexandra!

I was sure it was a brothel, with the publicly displayed painting of a bare-titted woman on the balcony. El Bordello Alexandra.

Since it's not done yet, they could still come from behind and win it all. Coincidentally, I also posted an item on the Alexander today over at Franklin Avenue <a href="http://franklinavenue.blogspot.com/2007/07/alexander-ruler-of-world-keeper-of.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>!
