Rue's New York Apartment - For Sale

You might not expect this of your Head Trucker, but this old shitkicker sometimes likes to browse through the real estate ads for high-end NYC apartments and townhouses, just to admire the beauty of them.  I tend to favor traditional, well-crafted homes over modern or minimal, and another time I'll share some gems I've run across with you.

But right now, here's a sad but fascinating peek into Rue McClanahan's midtown apartment, now available if you got a hankering to live in the Big Apple.  Which I don't, not a bit - so have at it, fellas.  Here's the listing if you want to see the floorplan and all.



If I did live in New York City, I would damn sure want to have some outdoor space like our Oklahoma gal did.  Who wants to live in a birdhouse where you can't even go out and pee off the back porch if you feel like it?

In Memoriam: Rue McClanahan

The Emmy-Award winning Oklahoma native died at age 76 at New York Presbyterian Hospital today, following a stroke.  Here's part of a recent interview in which she discusses "Golden Girls," and her fellow cast members.  If you can believe it, the producers originally wanted Betty White to play Blanche, and Rue to play Rose.



Skip past the annoying buzz to the :20 second mark.
