I noticed a moving van outside the Kurdish Library @ Underhill and Park yesterday. Anyone know what happened? Their website doesn't say anything.

    From the archives about this place (not an answer to the question, but some background for those who didn't know the place existed):

    The building was up for sale a year or two back for $2.75M, but nothing seemed to come of it. Maybe they found a buyer? http://www.brownstoner.com/brownstoner/archives/2008/05/house_of_the_da_500.php

    Some more background info here (but also no answer to the question)... http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/12/realestate/12habi.html
