There’s a nominal amount of activity going on at 6 Hubert Street, formerly the site of Vinyl\/Arc. The building seems to have changed hands (or at least plans) in May, which necessitated the closing<\/a> of the club. Sinvin was listing the property (at $18 or $26 million, I can’t remember, and their listing is gone). It was being marketed as a potential residential conversion. The property information looks like hieroglyphs to us (there are others way better at interpreting<\/a> them), but from what we can discern, it is an exercise in tax obfuscation without peer (anyone who runs an entity under the name ‘Last Gasp Realty’ can’t be taken real seriously). This is confirmed by the building register on the Hudson Street (157) entrance, which lists about 15 tenants for a building that looks by and large abandoned.<\/p>\n

It all seems a little shady because of the current activity. The doors on Hubert and Collister have been graced with a new coat of black paint (erasing the simple graphic that denoted the entrance to Arc), and the basement, previously filled with construction debris, is fairly clean, with a very interesting exception: a very precise hole is being dug just under the Hubert Street entrance. With the excavated dirt lining the hole, and its dimensions, it pretty much looks like a grave site. Now, there’s plenty of reasons for such a project, though we can’t name any really good ones right now (tip on Jimmy Hoffa?), but given the air of decrepitude of the building, and the hazy ownership record, the bare bulb throwing a garish light on the crispy hewn orifice some three feet by eight, in a basement no less, makes it just a little creepy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
