I've never been inside, but the outside looks rather charming. Will the new offices be in a strip mall or an inhuman glass box? Or in Hoboken?

I recall seeing that Roger Straus ate lunch at Union Square Cafe every day, and also remember when several good writers in their stable defected to other houses for better money.

Once was in their offices myself. Did need new paint!
