In the News: An attacker evades police for months

RAPIST EVADES ARREST FOR MONTHS
The Times traces the steps of the perp who raped two women in Hudson River Park, and how he was able to avoid arrest for months and attack other women in the meantime.

 

COMMUNITY CENTER FOR THE SEAPORT?
The Trib covered CB1’s support of an effort by the South Street Seaport Coalition to put a three-story community center on the platform left behind after the city demolished the New Market Building just north of Pier 17.

TWO BRIDGES SITE CHALLENGED AGAIN
Crain’s reports that Councilman Christopher Marte and residents have filed suit in state Supreme Court to stop the towers planned for South Street — arguing that “their construction violates enhanced environmental protections that were enshrined into law as part of the New York State Bill of Rights earlier this year.” Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer and other community groups previously sued to stop the development, but it survived the Court of Appeals in May 2021.

A LIVED-IN COZY ART MUSEUM
New York Magazine has a visual tour of Michael and Susan Hort’s Tribeca home, a rotating display from the 5000-piece collection they have put together over the past 37 years. The townhouse “is alive with art. It’s simply everywhere: on every wall, up and down the stairs, on ­every table (some of which were made by artists too), and, in the case of one Sarah Sze, in a closet. Some of it you can sit on; there’s a 1993 Franz West sofa by the fireplace and a Nari Ward piece, Tired Seats, from the same year. It has to be the most cozily lived-in all-star ­contemporary-art museum in the world.”
