She's gonna sit down with Hillary over a big ol' bowl of grits, pour on some of dat hot sauce she got in her pocket, and dang! — that’ll be some mighty good fixins. (Updated)

Ah, memories!

Hillary Does Hot Sauce

(Background: The protest is, of course, about Elon Musk, and the use of “methane”, formerly known as natural gas, to power an AI center.)

UPDATE:

Lots of people comparing AOC's fake accent in Memphis to Kamala's black southern preacher routine, so went back to rewatch.

Forgot how bad this was. Absolutely brutal. https://t.co/ZXYmk9e6HR pic.twitter.com/uqlQOkf6a1

Paging Dr. Nixon

The New York legal system continues to make a parody of itself. Cynthia Nixon, who played a lawyer on HBO’s Sex and the City, has been appointed by New York Chief Judge Rowan Wilson to screen and recommend candidates to serve on the state of New York’s highest court.

This seems appropriate: “Nixon's first onscreen appearance (at 8 years old) was as an imposter on To Tell the Truth, pretending to be a junior horse riding champion.”

New agent, new price, same house. UPDATE: same agents, they just switched lead roles.

174 Round Hill Road was listed at $10.million March 4th, dropped to $9.5 April 30, and now that listing agent’s been dumped and the price further reduced by the new one, to $8.5. Nice, custom-built house, good location, but at a mere 9,000 sq. ft., it probably feels just a tad claustrophobic to today’s buyer.

These days, I couldn't guess whether this is going as land or a residence.

35 Welwyn Road, Riverside, listed at $3.495 million, pending after 9 days.

The Marketplace at Work

64 Hillside Road was listed at $2.650 million on April 21, price was dropped to $2.4 million a week later, immediately drew bidders, and colsed today at $2.5.

I previously applauded Mark Pruner for his pricing strategy on this property, and now I can do so again

Mark Pruner put 38 Byfield Lane on the market June 27th at $3.495 million and rapidly took two price cuts because, in this market, if offers aren’t flooding in instantly, it doesn’t pay to “dither” around. Pruner didn’t, got the price down to $3.295 and it’s now pending.

Nice work, if you can get it

“A $5 million dollar house in Havemeyer, sir, is like a dog walking on its hind legs. It’s not that it’s done well, the surprising thing is that it’s done at all”. Samuel .Johnson

A local builder paid $1.529 million for 20 Old Wagon Road (Havemeyer Park) that was listed in May 2025 for $1.199 million, razed it, built new, and put it back up for sale this June at $3.978 million. Presumably, he priced it to provide a very nice return on his efforts, so he must have been delighted when it sold it to a Larchmont (10538 ZIP) buyer yesterday for $4,802,500.

Some of us wouldn’t have considered Havemeyer Park to be a $5 million dollar neighborhood; some of us were wrong, apparently.

the original model: 1,066 sq. ft.

stanwich road

151 Stanwich Road, listed at $2.950 million, closed today at $3.8 million. It has the obligatory “babbling brook”, but oddly there’s no mention of the “coveted, gourmet, professional chef’s kitchen” that’s included in every reputable GMLS offering. Listing agent Ellen Mosher is one our top agents, so I’m sure the omission was part of a deliberate strategy and, judging from this sale price, it obviously worked.

And to the east …

Now you see it, soon you won’t. 33 Sound Beach Avenue, listed at $1 million, sold for $1.2.
