a.k.a. The Book of Lamentations:
a bitterly nostalgic look at a city in the process of going extinct
- Jeremiah Moss
- THE BOOK:
"We should all buy Jeremiah Moss’s book, Vanishing New York." --Sarah Jessica Parker
“Essential reading for fans of Jane Jacobs, Joseph Mitchell, Patti Smith, Luc Sante, and cheap pierogi.” --Vanity Fair
"a vigorous, righteously indignant book that would do Jane Jacobs proud." --Kirkus Reviews
THE BLOG:
"the go-to hub for those who lament New York's loss of character." --Crain's
"No one takes stock of New York's changes with the same mixture of snark, sorrow, poeticism, and lyric wit as Jeremiah Moss." --Village Voice, Best of NY
“Jeremiah Moss…is the defender of all the undistinguished hunks of masonry that lend the streets their rhythm.” --Justin Davidson, New York Magazine
"One of the most thorough and pugnacious chroniclers of New York’s blandification." --The Atlantic, Citylab
"Hyperbolic and combative, tireless and passionate." --Salon
Re: the former Dunkin' Donuts...
ReplyDeleteI'll take that 2-for-1 deal any day... A chain for two locally owned stores.
does anyone know what happened to ben-ness photo on university? or have I really been in working too hard not to notice they had been gone a while?
ReplyDeletePlease let us know when Julius' reopens. We need to enjoy it while we still have it.
ReplyDeleteLoved your Julius post from 2007. In all my visits over four decades, I've never noticed the doggie footrail!
the guys at Julius were really working hard this morning and signs promised they would re-open very soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you for keeping an eye on it.
ReplyDeleteWasn't the space occupied by Dunkin Donuts a bodega-type grocery store before they were forced out?
