I've seen/read stories like this to ask how financially wise are these "colleges and universities"? If you have endowments worth $billions, in down-slow-low inflow to addicted funds, you lean your #expenditures, tap &/or take #profits from #investments You don't sell #assets that if you stay in #education biz you'll always need housing... #RE-valuations go up & down, #assets stay or ought to! Who is advising these #college & #university #boards & #pres.; #realtors for #commission?
Many colleges and universities are selling prized assets like housing complexes, mansions, apartments and even art, as they struggle to stay afloat. Valparaiso University made the decision to sell three paintings including one Georgia O'Keeffe painting to fund a renovation of its freshman dorms. Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, Washington is set to sell one of its original buildings, Kerry Hall, amid an enrollment decline of 39% over the past decade.

Did you see the article Kerdyk Real Estate was included in for listing Duffy Tavern's for sale in the Miami Herald? You can read the article in the post below to learn more about the establishment and why it's selling. And congratulations to Duffy's for landing the front page!
If a museum is a collection of important historical and cultural artifacts, a haven for the precious elements that show us all we have been as a community, then Duffy’s Tavern is a museum of Miami. The restaurant and bar, originally built in 1929 as a residence, has been feeding and watering the communities around it with warmth, humor and hamburgers ever since Martin Duffy first opened the business in 1955. Now, the property, right on the edge of Coral Gables, is up for sale, its future uncertain even as the faithful still flock. Read more: https://lnkd.in/di6ghfxc
For almost 70 years, this beloved tavern has fed Miami. Now it’s for sale

I'm excited to share a fascinating blog post that delves into the history of Old Penn Station. It explores the architectural grandeur of this iconic structure, its significance in the urban landscape, and the unfortunate circumstances that led to its demise. The narrative is a poignant reminder of both the beauty of our historical landmarks and the ongoing conversation about preservation in our modern cities. To learn more about this compelling story, visit the link below. Read the full article here: [The birth, life, and death of Old Penn Station](https://ift.tt/oITgi1x).

Defending Local Identity: A Stand Against External Architectural Influence "It grieves me to think that we require an American justice system in Wimbledon." This response to the proposal for a Frank Gehry-designed concert hall underscores the discontent some feel about an extraordinary foreign architect imposing his vision on a place we call home. While Gehry's vision for a state-of-the-art music center promises to transform Wimbledon and enrich London's cultural life, it is seen by many as an affront to our collective security and the greater good. The idea that an outsider, however talented, can dictate the architectural landscape of our community is troubling. This project, far from being a unique opportunity, represents a challenge to our local identity and autonomy. Our community deserves development that respects and reflects our values, traditions, and needs, rather than surrendering to external influences that may not align with our collective interests. #LocalIdentity #ArchitecturalIntegrity #Wimbledon #CommunityValues #CulturalAutonomy #PreserveOurHeritage #LocalVoicesMatter #ArchitecturalSovereignty #ProtectOurHome #ResistExternalInfluence

"The People's House: A White House Experience" is opening in Washington, DC this week. It's a 33,000 sq ft, three-floor interactive tech-powered experience designed to evolve over time alongside each presidency. This is interesting, and hopefully will help the attraction stay current vs. the stale animatronic Hall of Presidents experience from the past. Located less than a block from the actual White House, this is a collaboration between The White House Historical Association, Gensler, Ralph Applebaum Associates, and Cortina Productions. I understand the security precautions of building a separate attraction, and the scalability to make a visit more accessible to the greater public, but it's hard to think of another iconic building that could do the same. Imagine if a visit to the Empire State Building took place at a smaller replica down the block with only video views of the Manhattan skyline? It's unclear if one of the technology powered interactive experiences included a mini Zamboni to usher out guests who believe they have won the election and refuse to leave the building. I will definitely check this out the next time I'm in Washington, DC. It's great to see a modern experience applied to an educational and inspirational political environment. #ImmersiveExperience #InteractiveExhibits #ExperienceDesign #WashingtonDC #TechInMuseums #EducationalExperiences #PoliticalHistory #VisitorAttractions #CulturalHeritage #Gensler #RalphAppelbaumAssociates #CortinaProductions #WhiteHouse #AmericanHistory #ModernMuseums #ExhibitionDesign #DigitalInnovation #PresidentialHistory #HistoricPreservation #MuseumsAndTechnology #VisitorExperience #ExperientialDesign #InnovationInMuseums #DCAttractions #CulturalExperience #StorytellingThroughTech #MuseumTech #CivicEngagement #TechInEducation #ExperienceEconomy #CulturalInnovation #WXO #WorldExperienceOrganization "Home - The People's House"
