Many people do use the terms almost interchangeably, but there are many differences. Co-op's may have a reputation of being more "exclusive" because a new buyer has to be approved by the building's Board of Directors or Admissions Committee.

Must have been right before it was made into fancy condos. I remember one night Mrs Wiggins reluctantly allowed us in after curfew, 11:00. She was especially strict that night. However, I have very fond memories of my stay there. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-67057094878656785152016-04-04T13:08:20.075-07:002016-04-04T13:08:20.075-07:00You are welcome!

Probably, then, this kind of information was picked up from film industry public directory sources.

This is not stated as such but almost implied. His agent, Vic Ramos (now deceased) was always the owner of Unit 5B. Matt may have visited regularly during the early days of their business relationship. I did meet him once.

My rent was $17 a week and included 2 meals a day. I remember the woman the others refer to. She was a very nice, elegant woman, who I believe had had a sad life. Mrs. Wiggins was her name. In 1966 or 1967 I took my 5 year old daughter to visit her.view from 3/4 timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10387409614587347338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-90655063875802613782015-08-10T09:16:52.171-07:002015-08-10T09:16:52.171-07:00I lived there for 7 months, from December 1964 unt...I lived there for 7 months, from December 1964 until August 1965. Maybe it was run at that time by the same tiny old lady. I enjoyed my time there very much, plus it was very reasonable ($100 a week at that time). Somehow I got my own room on the first floor, with a lot of greenery outside my window.Carolyn and Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12106053914004548087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-84747165451407790162014-08-01T06:49:39.277-07:002014-08-01T06:49:39.277-07:00This was my home for 6 months in 1973, run by a ti...This was my home for 6 months in 1973, run by a tiny old lady who ruled with an iron fist. As much as I disliked living in NYC, this was a wonderful place to live. Washington Square was close by and, in those days, the hippies would congregate for music and song and "smoking" and all the relaxation of the good old days. Fran KniebelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
