So i was walking down Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn yesterday when I happened upon the now defunct Ex Lax factory. A peek inside revealed a sign on the wall proclaiming "the chocolated laxative" which confirmed my finding.
According to Nancy McKiernan Realty,
"No “cookie cutter” apartment here. This 1200 square foot loft is the unique one bedroom, plus den/office (a potential second bedroom) space that makes the apartment search rewarding.Unique: An all new huge chef’s kitchen with acres of stone countertops, a 5 burner DCS range, Jenn-Air double door refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, breakfast bar, and space to prepare a banquet. Unique: A flexible entertaining space that can let your imagination create a configuration that suits your personal style. Unique: 13 foot tall ceilings, 7 large tall south facing windows giving both tons of light, and great distant views. Unique: More closets and storage than you can imagine…a huge floor to ceiling storage room, 3 separate large clothes closets, and a linen closet too.Unique: Located in Boerum Hill in the building-with-a-history, the former ExLax factory, it is just steps to 11 subway lines and all the restaurants and shops on Atlantic Ave. Smith St. and Brooklyn’s Fifth Ave. And the building has an enormous landscaped roof deck for your use."
I'm concerned that she doesn't mention the bathroom.
But that wasn't the reason I'm writing. Atlantic Avenue has a lot of antique shops, some are full of 18th Century guilded crap and some are warehouses for the coolest shit this side of Ex Lax. Boar heads and Chester A Arthur my friends. Well above my tax bracket but fun to look anyway. The site seems to have older pics unfortunately.
