Maestro buys €1.2m coal house so he can play piano at 1a.m.
mainThe Wall Street Journal covers real estate in … Helsinki.
From the article: … an upscale apartment building in Helsinki, Finland, was likely used in the past to shelter horses and store coal.
But Finnish conductor Hannu Lintu and his partner, business-school professor Pekka Mattila, saw the spot as a luxury refuge. They paid €1.2 million, or about $1.3 million, for the space…

Another one with a paywall.
Turn off your modem/router then turn it back on again. That will change your IP address and the WSJ should let you view one article before the paywall goes back up.
It’s three storeys down. I am not going to do three sets of stairs every time a paywalled article is linked. If it is not restricted at the SD end, they must have a subscription. Probably also do to Haaretz. All I ask is to be advised if a piece is paywalled before bothering to try links in vain, and NL has already said that in general he does not post paywalled articles (true enough). If he is not restricted from the WSJ, then he was not to know.
But thanks for the idea. I did not know pulling out the router for a moment would change my ISP address. (Nor why).
outed!
Who, Hannu Lintu? His sexuality and his relationship with Mattila have been known for quite some years now.
Non issue!!
I absolutely loved the decor with all the white and the ‘splashes’ of colour. Tres elegant!!
What a pathetic observation!
To be “outed,” I’m pretty sure you have to be in the closet.
I love the Grinch! Good for him!
