1. Is this where the two sisters lived?

There was a documentary about them — something Gardens

2. That was Grey Gardens.

That was a different home where her aunt and cousin lived. That house is in East Hampton, N.Y. and is now owned by Sally Quinn ( wife of Ben Bradley of The Washington Post)

3. Oh. Okay thanks. Nt

4. Well, rats. I was looking for a nice little summer cottage up there......

But that is a little beyond my budget. I think the monthly upkeep would be beyond my yearly salary.

Oh, well...........

7. Maybe we can go in together?

If they're willing to take a .01% down payment and give us $150 mortgage, we just might be able to swing it!

Whaddayasay?

9. Hey, you don't have to ask me twice!

I'll even give you your choice of upstairs or downstairs!

[EffieBlack]

11. For 65 mil, I think we can both have our own upstairs and downstairs

[DFW]

14. True. There's probably enough square footage in that place

Even if two families were living there, it could be weeks before they ever ran into each other.

15. 57 vacation homes. Nothing obscene about that. Nope.

[Hekate]

8. I hope they are very very selective about who they sell it to. No Trumps. No Kushners. No Putins.

No cronies of any of that ilk.

I mean it.

[DFW]

10. Of the three you mentioned

Only one of them has credit good enough to swing it anyway.


And I doubt Vladimir Vladimirovitch wants to be seen buying vacation property on Martha's Vineyard when he already owns Sochi free and clear.

13. True enough. But by saying "their ilk" I included all the money launderers so prevalent ....

...in Trump's financial and political life.
