Just for one post, a few fun items from our old lives.

THE LARRABEE PROJECT
Local developers Tribeca Associates gave a nod to the film “Sabrina” — the 1954 version — and labeled their building at 30 Broad with a Larrabee Industries sign at the entrance, since that was the fictional company’s headquarters. (At one point in the film Humphrey Bogart tells the chauffeur, “Take me to 30 Broad.”) That film was made by Billy Wilder with Bogart and Audrey Hepburn, but I have to admit — at the risk of being kicked out of the Old Movies Are Better club — I am more of a fan of the Harrison Ford/Greg Kinnear/Julia Ormond vehicle directed by Sydney Pollack. The building was built in 1932, and Tribeca Associates renovated it in 2016. (You can read a whole post about the locations in those films in Untapped Cities.)

51-59 FRANKLIN FOR SALE
G. sent a note that 51-59 Franklin is listed for sale, the building that has the corner of Franklin and Benson Place. The listing says it has a potential for 89,080 square feet and is zoned to permit residential, commercial and hotels (C6-4A).

LOVE IN THE UNDERGROUND
Spot that station? Not in the hood as far as I can tell, but I had to go farther afield to find something NOT about coronavirus. And this is a treat.

Our correspondant, @Komanoff, offers a tribute to Earth Day activism — and he oughta know, given his decades of fighting for cleaner air and a better planet. #EarthDay2020 https://t.co/dKtcqo5Mp9

CLEAN AIR FOR EARTH DAY
If you need something to celebrate, here’s Tribecan Charlie Komanoff’s survey of the last 50 years in the city’s air quality published in Streetsblog, and it is mostly good news: “Today, let’s lift our gaze from COVID-19 and epidemiology to New York’s clearer skies. Dear reader, please join me in toasting a half-century of scientist and activist vision and grit that has made — and continues to make — our city cleaner, healthier and more beautiful.”
