A MOVING ACCOUNT OF THE RAVAGES OF ALZHEIMER’S
The Trib has a very moving first-person essay and photo story on longtime Tribecans C. Michael Norton and Ruth Hardinger, both 72, who were also among the most successful real estate agents in the neighborhood. Ruth now has Alzheimer’s Disease, and Michael recounts the challenges that has created for both of them. Ruth moved to N. Moore in 1977; Michael joined her in 1993. From The Trib: “Michael asked the Trib to document this time in their relationship because, he said, ‘I want people to understand Alzheimer’s and understand what it is to go through something like this—not only for those who have the disease, but for those who love them.’

BRIAN RIDEOUT AT PATRICK PARRISH
Wallpaper features Brian Rideout’s oil paintings of domestic interiors, which “blur lines of time and reality,” showing now at Patrick Parrish Gallery on Lispenard. For this solo show, the Toronto-based painter drew from gallerist Patrick Parrish’s rich collection of design books to create new works.

WORK STARTED ON 25 WATER
Yimby reports that prep work has started at 25 Water Street, the 22-story former office building that was once 4 New York Plaza, near Bowling Green. When complete, the conversion will be the largest ever in the United States by unit count, surpassing the recent redevelopment of One Wall Street with its 566 condominiums.

TOURING SIX FLOORS OF DESIGN AND ART
Tribecan Paige West’s house on Warren Street — designed by longtime Tribeca Ghislaine Viñas — is featured in Curbed. “West originally bought the 15,000-square-foot, six-story former warehouse 14 years ago with her then-husband, John Keeler. Viñas had teamed up with architecture firm Joe McMillan’s DDG on remaking it. Originally, there were two units, which later came in handy when the couple split up. Keeler and his second wife lived on the first three floors, and West lived upstairs with Christopher Cooper, to whom she is now married. Their children moved back and forth.”
