Hasta La Ideas

If we told you that you could buy an apartment in New York for $50 or an entire building for just a few hundred more, you would likely punch us in the face. As we do not like being punched in the face, we will instead clarify that initial statement. In a clever act of fundraising (found by way of I Like), the Queens Museum of Art has decided to start an “Adopt-A-Building” program using their famous Panorama of the City of New York exhibit, a gigantic modeled replica of the greater New York City metropolitan area, built in 1965. Throw in a few bucks for the building you live in, spend a few more for your old schoolhouse, or even throw down some big money and grab something like the Empire State Building. It’s a great idea, one that’s much more fun than, say, bricks out in front of the building or those usual staples. Here’s to hoping they’re successful and lots of people become pretend property barons, thus finally making their parents pretend proud of them.
