Thanks for posting that John Lurie link. What a weird & horrible situation. I've spoken to him several times and its been difficult. He's been very unhappy to put it mildly.
ReplyDeleteHi. I have followed your blog for some time. My son graduated from La Salle Academy in June 09,which has been on the corner of 2nd and 2nd for almost 150 years. It is now gone. I am very distressed to have a school which served the community in a way that the passing of some stupid bar or restaurant never could has been ignored. There truly is nothing left on the lower east side for those who are not the wealthy class that has moved in. I believe the plan is turn this corner into another luxury development.
ReplyDeleteMy God, I had no idea the LaSalle Academy was gone.
ReplyDeleteAt this point, the tide of change is so constant and all enveloping, that I didn't even notice the school wasn't functioning. Sometimes it's just TOO MUCH....
So...I looked up more info about LaSalle, and apparently it is NOT gone.
ReplyDeleteFreshman report to class Sept. 9th.
If someone has different info please speak up.
They are still a school but after 150 years no longer at 2nd and 2nd. My son said they are also going co-ed but I have no proof of that.
