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
Everybody should go to Bill's Gay 90's, have some drinks and help them from surrendering to future asshole owners.
ReplyDeleteWhat we need is an "NYC Channel" on TV to turn around the Hollywood "Friends" image of the city. What we need is "Car 54," "Barney Miller," even "The Dick Van Dyke Show." Anything with prune Danish. And lots of "Naked City,""Taking of Pelham 1-2-3," "Shaft" and "Serpico."
ReplyDeleteAnd btw, I want to start using “Get into the shot, and let’s get this over with.” !!
what can we do? seriously, does anyone know the owner? maybe we could start a Kickstarter campaign, a petition--these tactics have been working!
ReplyDeleteSome years ago my husband and I attended an event at Gracie Mansion. Got a "photo op" with Bloomturd (couldn't resist), and he does the old grab and grip with great efficiency and zero warmth. You get positioned and the photo is taken in such a way that his, shall we say, lack of stature, is de-emphasized. Better yet, my husband, proudly wearing his DC37 polo shirt, made sure to give the Emperor a VERY hearty handshake. His wince was captured on film and we display the photo with glee!
ReplyDeleteLove Grade "A" Fancy's idea. Channel 11 aired an Odd Couple marathon on Thanksgiving and I felt like I'd hit the lottery.
ReplyDelete@Grand ST.-Classic Odd Couple NYC episode "The New Car". Felix and Oscar win a car and it’s a disaster trying to find parking for it. So they try to deal with a totally unscrupulous garage owner as played by John Byner. As Felix and Oscar (Felix try’s to bribe Byner with a $10 bill-LOL), walk away in disgust, Byner calls out to them and says: “Yous will be back begging on your knees like my mother was.”

"Longtime holistic and homeopathic EV Veterinarian shuttered."
ReplyDeleteNo tears to shed on that one. Should read "Longtime psuedoscientific bilker of suckers' money shuttered." Let's rezone the "psychics" while we're at it.
Eddie, that's such a classic. I laugh just thinking about it. "What'll this get us?" "Two fives."
