Living with Legends

Dear Ed,

I lived at the Chelsea Hotel about 4 years ago. It was a great place to be… I called the front desk today and asked if I could do a monthly rental again and the person who answered said that they do not 
take residents anymore. I know there are not such great things happening now but I’d still love to move back in if possible… I’m  wondering if you have any insider advice? Anyone I can talk to, etc?

Best,
(name redacted)

Yeah, you’re right, things are lousy here lately.  We’d love to have you back, but I’m afraid I’m not too optimistic on that score.  Our only suggestion is to call board members Marlene Krauss and David Elder, and Manager Andrew Tilley, and have them explain their rental policy to you and ask them how this upholds the tradition of the Chelsea.
