Hypothesis or Fact?

Aha! An interesting suggestion about The Mystery Photographer just came from right here in the powerHouse office: we've begun to suspect the new building owners are worried we will take the walls with us when we go! A note of explanation may be in order...

When powerHouse began renting our space at 68 Charlton, it was completely raw. Think of the emptiest, dirtiest, and generally least pleasant Bushwick loft you've ever been to. Now double the nasty. That'll give you an idea of what we had to work with. Now, for those of you that haven't visited us yet, we work and play in 2,500 square feet of parquet floors, with big white walls separating a full office, conference room, and gallery flooded with sunlight. We even built bathrooms that, we've heard, are envied by at least three other SoHo galleries.

Because we built it when we came, we literally own everything: even the ceiling, which we replaced when we moved in. That stuff could be useful where ever we end up....Thanks for the idea, Steve! Steve is the maniacal developer who gave us the worst Valentine's Day present EVER yesterday.

If you have a better guess than this, send it to us. The entrant with the most accurate or entertaining guess, or one that for whatever reason could be judged "best in show" will be awarded with a set of each of our four Strip Flips. Appropriate for VD, no?
