Here’s one:.
Question: If you get rid of Stanley, and all that he represents (the artists, writers, the SOUL of the building) WHY do you suppose people like me will stay the The Chelsea when we come to NYC (several times every year) for the same price we could pay to stay in any other hotel in town (with, frankly, many more amenties)?

Answer: If you make The Chelsea into what will surely be the outcome of CBGBs Las Vegas: a soulless tourist event, I won’t be able to stomach seeing it. I’ll stay off 23rd to not have to see the corpse of my beloved Chelsea Hotel.
