• The Rosenmiller Drugstore Building (blogspot.com) — A small brick building at 172 Eighth Avenue in Chelsea holds nearly two centuries of neighborhood history, from a beloved 19th‑century drugstore to butchers, delis, and a laundromat. The story traces colorful residents, crimes, and architectural changes that shaped this corner of Chelsea's streetscape and community life.
• Rubin Museum Taps JLL to Market Chelsea Flagship Mixed-Use Property for Sale (cremarketbeat.com) — A major Chelsea property at 140–154 W. 17th St., long home to the Rubin Museum of Himalayan Art plus 46 apartments, is being marketed for sale as a rare mixed-use opportunity.
