Ever since "Delirious New York" I've longed for the Manhattan that existed before a bunch of Dutch colonists decided to build Amsterdam-on-the-Hudson. That is to say, Manhattan au naturel. New York City is the epicenter of all the things in that world that have a blatant disregard for context, for sensitivity, for the past. I can't believe that anyone could be up in arms about the redevelopment of Lower New York's "Murder Zone."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-4600912401764447522008-07-17T17:37:00.000-04:002008-07-17T17:37:00.000-04:00"Last evening three young ruffians made a raid on ..."Last evening three young ruffians made a raid on his cigar-stand for the purpose of obtaining free cigars".

I found a bottle top of the kind you describe inside the wall of my apartment. I dated it to the period of prohibition. That building is beautiful. <BR/><BR/>I can't help but think that the loss of these old buildings wouldn't be so disgraceful if the new buildings that went up included the kind of architectural detail and richness that was common in every building 100 years ago. Tenements built for the masses had stone carvings and finials that are just masterful. <BR/><BR/>Instead the new buildings are glass or plain stone boxes with no artisanry or detail that is inspiring in any way. I can't help but think that it wouldn't feel so disastrous if the replacement buildings weren't so incredibly cheap looking and without character.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04362859175287085919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-32383960676134571732008-07-16T19:31:00.000-04:002008-07-16T19:31:00.000-04:00ken, it's just below delancey, kind of on the corn...ken, it's just below delancey, kind of on the cornerJeremiah Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791516443125872364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-85329500477948865112008-07-16T16:14:00.000-04:002008-07-16T16:14:00.000-04:00Geez. forgot to ask, is this right below Houston?Geez. forgot to ask, is this right below Houston?Ken Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09100185198750536244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-88041455443681310012008-07-16T13:03:00.000-04:002008-07-16T13:03:00.000-04:00Great post.

A shame poor Mr. Hutter didn't kill himself at #185, where his ghost might still be hanging around, deciding to haunt the yunnies who will inevitably be moving into whatever new monstrosity takes that cool old building's place, making their lives so miserable, they'll be forced to call TAPS.
