Opposing expressways and supporting neighborhoods were common themes in her life. In 1962, she was the chairperson of the "Joint Committee to Stop the Lower Manhattan Expressway", when the downtown expressway plan was killed. She was again involved in stopping the Lower Manhattan Expressway and was arrested during a demonstration on April 10, 1968. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Jacobs and for more direct access to her works go to http://www.preservenet.com/theory/Jacobs.htmlMs.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09479767121319709878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-79552332428108075992010-05-24T10:08:43.639-04:002010-05-24T10:08:43.639-04:00i bought my first jane jacobs book in biography bo...i bought my first jane jacobs book in biography books. how's that for apropos?glammanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-78159713889192709552009-11-02T13:06:28.314-05:002009-11-02T13:06:28.314-05:00This furthers the myth that Jane Jacobs did her wo...This furthers the myth that Jane Jacobs did her work in and about New York.<br /><br />She didn’t.

It's a clever and sad comment on the state of affairs where I've lived for 30+ years. I can't figure out why there are always lines waiting to get into the Marc Jacobs store on Perry & Bleeker. Now, cupcakes I can understand...but this stuff? Please someone enlighten me. Are they tourists off the bus?

Save Coney Island folks showed up at the ceremony disguised in Jane Jacobs wigs and eyeglasses and carrying eye catching posters that read "Jane Jacobs would have saved Coney Island." Chrstine Quinn had to acknowledge them in her little speech. Sadly, parts of Bleecker and West Fourth Streets have turned into Marc Jacobs Way and Marc Jacobs Lane. I try to avoid walking on those blocks.Triciahttp://amusingthezillion.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-89702811817165069442009-10-16T08:34:36.720-04:002009-10-16T08:34:36.720-04:00Excellent interview!
