Reporter Joel Levinson has it on Good Authority that the chic man house will be torn down. One of his first designs is a professional architect the house on the beach in margate is sold for more than 4 million. I saw it today and shot its modern lines and trademark feature that massive outdoor room on the beach side thats very well known to locals. Its neat looking much its unbelievable its 50 years old. I guess that makes me a little older than 50. Join the club. I got to say it will be missed if its torn down it will be missed. Im sure mr. Levinson the architect will be little disappointed of its going. Isnt when i met joel earlier today at his mt. Airy home, i wasnt as certain while he spoke of his client being very happy with the design, the oceanside open space in particular Mission Accomplish but that same porch it looks different from the outside and joel is his own worst critic.

I mean to some degree i share that view. I share that perspective. Reporter but see thats the word perspective. I did get a chance to see that space from the other side.
