Dylan's Digs Doomed

During the 1960's, Bob Dylan of rock and roll fame lived in Room 211 of the Chelsea Hotel in Manhattan. The new owner supposedly exceeded his permit to renovate 211’s kitchen and gutted the place, according to a tipster. The city’s Buildings Department decided to issue a stop-work order. The Chelsea was built around 1883. Bob Dylan is an icon but he’s no George Washington. Is it really necessary to make a larger issue of renovating the songwriter’s flat?

IMPORTANT NOTE: This blog is a quick comment on an older New York City news headline. Unforeseen NYCo site development delays prevented its publication before now. For readership continuity, 100’s of older headlines are to be posted in chronological order until this blog is current. Though some of the stories may no longer be as relevant as they once were, they remain interesting news items worthy of this site’s mention and viewer comments.
