I'm Getting Excited and a Little Nervous!!!

October Would be ideal Not Only because of The Lease But I Think That Would Give Us As much time To Accumulate Funds.

I Need To Be Talkin To My 2nd Cousin ASAP.

Pops is Planning a Trip With me In May and I'm Going To Try To Get him To Take Me To New York and Stay at My 2nd Cousins. I Don't Know how Often The Place Is Used or Rented or Anything But I Figure Worse Case Scenario If We Can Stay For a Couple months With low Rent We Can Get Enough Funds or Find Friends To Find a Room later.

Heres What Wikipedia has To Say About The Culture There....

*Culture*

Chelsea is a melting pot of cultures. Above 23rd Street, by the Hudson River, the neighborhood is post-industrial, featuring the newly-hip High Line that follows the river all through Chelsea.[5][6] Eighth Avenue is a center for LGBT-oriented shopping and dining, and from 20th to 22nd street between Ninth and Tenth avenue, mid-nineteenth century brick and brownstone townhouses are still occupied, a few even restored to single family use.[7]
Since the mid-1990s, Chelsea has become a center of the New York art world, as art galleries moved there from SoHo. From 16th Street to 27th Street, between 10th and 11th Avenues, there are more than 350 art galleries that are home to modern art from upcoming artists and respected artists as well.[8] Along with the art galleries, Chelsea is home to the Rubin Museum of Art - with a focus on Himalayan art, the Chelsea Art Museum, the Graffiti Research Lab and the Dance Theater Workshop - a performance space and support organization for dance companies. The community, in fact is home to many well regarded performance venues, among them the Joyce Theater - one of the city's premier modern dance emporiums and The Kitchen - a center for cutting edge theatrical and visual arts.

InterActiveCorp headquarters on West Street
Chelsea has experienced a new construction boom, including a nine-story, computer-designed, shaped glass office building on West Street designed by Frank Gehry, and has become New York's center for aesthetically inspired building by the worlds leading architects.
The district was first added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 (District #77000954), and later expanded to include contiguous blocks containing particularly significant examples of period architecture in 1982 (District #82001190). This, in addition to comprehensive rezoning completed in 2004, is designed to protect the West Chelsea Arts district and allow for the development of world class architecture on its periphery.
