"Forever Home: A Spacious 5,800-Square-Foot Loft in New York City"

Rob and Mary Jan Mason, Loft Law tenants, refuse to leave their 5,800-square-foot loft in New York City's Village despite being offered large sums of money. The loft, which once housed the renowned recording facility RPM Studios, has a rich history of hosting legendary musicians and producing classic albums. The Masons' apartment is now owned by a California developer who may split it into multiple units, but the couple plans to age in place and take advantage of the loft's spaciousness and affordable rent.

"Alligator Sewer Myth Immortalized with Statue in New York's Union Square Park"

New York City has unveiled a bronze sculpture in Union Square Park depicting the urban legend of alligators in the city's sewers. Designed by Swedish artist Alexander Klingspor, the life-size sculpture features a gator wrapped around a manhole cover. Titled "N.Y.C Legend," the artwork will be on display until June 2024. The sculpture pays tribute to the city and explores the themes of myths, legends, and the impact of invasive species. Alligators are illegal to own in New York, but occasional sightings occur, with the most recent being an escaped pet found in Brooklyn's Prospect Park.
