A development site in Midtown, spotted by Hotel Chatter, is up for auction. Nothing special, right? Wrong, because this is the site of a former police sex scandal. From a 1998 New York Times article: "On the gritty block of West 39th Street near the garment district and the ethnic food shops of Ninth Avenue, the police sex scandal rocking the Giuliani administration came as little surprise. 'That's life,' a shopkeeper said." How could you not want a site with all that history? [Hotel Chatter; NYT]
