••• From NotifyNYC: “The Air Power Museum in Farmingdale, NY, will conduct a commemorative honor flight (weather permitting) over the Statue of Liberty (Hudson River) tomorrow, on Sunday, September 1st at 1:00pm.  The honor flight will consist of six historic aircraft—three B-25’s, one P40, one P47, and one P51 (see attached photos)—circling over the Statue of Liberty twice.  Two T6 aircraft (see attached photo) will accompany the group to photograph the activity. The aircraft will depart from/return to Republic Airport in Farmingdale, NY. You may see low flying aircraft in the area.”

••• The LMCCC says the new Pace dorm at 180 Broadway (at John) is open, and “TD Bank and fashion retailer Urban Outfitters are now in the process of building out their spaces.” Did we know a TD Bank would be there? There’s already one at Broadway and Warren.

••• Also from the LMCCC: “The city DOT this week released new curbside-parking regulations for commercial vehicles. As of August 26th, some locations previously designated No Standing Except Trucks Loading-Unloading are being converted to No Standing Commercial Vehicles – Metered Parking in the Financial District, and elsewhere in the city. In these newly designated zones, commercial vehicles are required to pay for parking weekdays from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.”

••• Last LMCCC item: “As part of the Hudson Street Trunk Main project, Franklin Street between Hudson and Varick Street will be fully closed starting August 26 through approximately October 1. The closure allows Con Edison crews to complete utility work under the roadbed.” Why didn’t Con Ed do it when the road was torn up?

••• From @MMDevoe of Pen Parentis: “Maiden Lane gossip: Alfanoose moving to Fulton.” To which @ProulxReview replied: “That means that 8-12 Maiden Lane is finally gonna go. The 4,000 [I think he meant 49,000] sf site could be 20 stories. And that the estate of Lillian Seril (do a NYT search) finally let go of the blighted property, but the Flushing address of the buyer does not inspire confidence.” It’s set to be a hotel; Devoe heard Marriott Residence Inn; Proulx heard Courtyard by Marriott. (Wait, is that 170 Broadway? It’s on this month’s CB1 agenda.)

••• From AT&T: “AT&T Street Charge will unveil several mobile charging units at well-traversed areas in Lower Manhattan, as part of AT&T’s ongoing Street Charge initiative. Starting on Wednesday, Bowling Green and Coenties Slip Plaza will be the latest locations across the five boroughs where New Yorkers can take advantage of solar mobile charging stations for all their devices in need of a little more battery life.”

••• Thanks to D. for this photo—it shouldn’t  be long before we see the majestic, poetic “Tribute in Light” being tested….
