it's particularly weird that NYTimes thinks that there are no Manhattan centric blogs when they run a blogroll on the City page that includes all our Manhattan blogs! nimrods

Re Our Lady of Vilnius: We are very thankful to be "not dead yet" and we hope our demise will be a natural one at the end of a long life, perhaps another century. The Archdioces voices every confidence that their agenda will prevail, as well it should: they have a lot more influence and resources at their disposal than we do. The church was started at the initiative of the people with the guidance of a worker priest. My ancestors thought that they were building something for posterity. I want to keep this building standing as a testimony to their innocent faith and hope. All innocent faith and hope.
