HERE COMES THE JENGA BUILDING
Construction on 56 Leonard, Herzog & de Meuron’s spectacular 57-story building, could start as early as next week. It’ll take four years, but the fate of the Anish Kapoor sculpture is unknown.

THE MYSTERY OF WHITE & CHURCH
“White & Church has been closed the last couple of nights,” emailed Alan just now. “Wonder if it is going to reopen at all.” The website is down, too…. (A couple of days later I found out what’s up.)

INTRODUCING TRIBECA TRUST
A new neighborhood group called Tribeca Trust aims to “mobilize residents and civic resources so as to preserve our neighborhood’s historic scale and to protect and enhance its architectural character, quality of life, economic vitality, and sense of place.” Next week: A family walking tour of the neighborhood’s Tribeca architecture.
