Honing in on MetroHome
APRIL SHOWERS bring Web Flowers and boy what a plethora of parties and events! That “homing” instinct has apparently been affecting a flock of us New Yorkers (original and transplants). Luckily, MetroHome, Inc. has come to the rescue. This group, headed up by Brigid Kelly, has created a site that provides up-to-date apartment listings and comprehensive city related housing information. The site has seen a lot of traffic from .edu domains, and large corporate companies who typically hire many students for the summer. The launch party on May 10 brought out one of the most eclectic mixes I’ve been present in: a gaggle of recently graduated medical students soon to go into various residencies, intrepid netnauts such as Emily Davidow, Sherry Riesner, and photographer Alexander Stikich wearing a hip navy blue nylon 70’s style jacket with a cute bug-like alien decal on the breast pocket. Toni Wang, site logistics manager, John D’addario, site designer, and Amanda Biers-Melcher, advertising rep were all present and had an abundance of enthusiasm. I also spoke with two appropriately invited gentlemen who have a moving company. Although they were slightly dazed and confused about the whole Web party scene–I over heard them comment, “there’s a party going on here, right?”– Well, let me tell you grrls, these men could move your hearts and furniture!
