Thanks for the update. It does seem like they're eager to tear stuff down (including the lovely old buildings on the east side of West Broadway between Warren and Murray)...but take their damn time building some new to (somewhat) ameliorate the destruction they've caused to our neighborhood. — Will on Nosy Neighbor: Why Has Construction Stopped at 30 Warren?
Do not appreciate the Gore diss at all! Not a new idea but Terry got some free press Not interested in your political opinion or snark Just close your eyes "Makes You Go..." and imagine a world with a President Gore. No wounded and dead veterans, a contained Middle East and solar panels on the roof of your building. — TG on Seen & Heard: Coordinated Open Houses
Sack cloth and ashes. — TG on The Nut Store Is Closing
Ironically NYPD tickets legally parked cars and fails to ticket the illegally parked cars with actual or bogus parking placards. — James on In the News: Broadway Likely to Get Another Tower

Gore: “During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2013/11/04/a-cautionary-tale-for-politicians-al-gore-and-the-invention-of-the-internet/?utm_term=.8ac1290fe07a — PeterD on Seen & Heard: Coordinated Open Houses
Great business. I lost 35 pounds in few weeks. Also, I have a crush on one of the trainers. — Steve Papadham on New Kid on the Block: Current
Also, Al Gore never claimed that he invented the Internet. That is a hackneyed right wing shibboleth. — David G. Imber on Seen & Heard: Coordinated Open Houses
So bummed!! Loved this store and was concerned the day would come that he'd be priced out. Thanks for the heads up so I can head over & stock up on my favs before he leaves ☹️ — Diane Cimine on The Nut Store Is Closing
No one claimed to have invented it, so if it reads that way, blame my wording. The point is that Terry led the effort to make it happen. — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Coordinated Open Houses
Uhhhh...neighborhood real estate open houses aren't a new thing. But kudos to Terry for pulling an "Al Gore" and calling it his (her?) idea. — Makes You Go Hmmm... on Seen & Heard: Coordinated Open Houses
A wonderful store!! I was a regular customer! Great product and knowledge kind staff. — Stacy on The Nut Store Is Closing
I believe they actually started on Duane Street at Elk; the feds built 290 Broadway and demolished the building that housed the nut store. They relocated to Church Street in the early '90s. Very sad to see them go. — Maryann Keegan on The Nut Store Is Closing
Love this post/comment. James, are you plugged into any of the groups that organize for the good stuff and against the bad stuff you enumerated? LIke Riders Alliance, Transportation Alternatives, Move NY, others? They would benefit from your knowledge and passion, as I'm sure you would benefit from theirs. — Komanoff on Open Letter: Here’s Your Traffic Study
Del Frisco's (aka the "Goldman cafeteria") is a fabulous addition to the neighborhood. I love that place and will be a regular. Very excited. Welcome to Tribeca! — Charlie on Seen & Heard: Del Frisco’s Grille Opens This Week
The renovations at this building were originally touted as an expansion for the school. However, the upper floors have been gutted and a full rooftop unit constructed. I just assume it is going residential, but foes anybody have an update on what is to become of this building now that the school is leaving? — Trig on Montessori School of Manhattan Is Closing Its Tribeca Campus

How are you sure, they came from there? Were you there? Do you have any facts at all. The fact is, that the fight started from a party down the block. None of the people discussed in this story ever stepped into M1-5. You should really get some facts before defaming a business. — S on It Happened Here Again
Hey, my husband says he saw a work stoppage order posted at the construction site on the east side of Church Street between Warren and Chambers. Any idea what's going on or how long the delay will be? They seem to have fallen way behind the *other* construction site on that block, across the street on the southwest corner of Church & Chambers. — Will on Seen & Heard: Schoolkid Gallery Show
Our building agent is Kyrous Realty Group - we're a small condop with only 8 residential coop units and two condo commercial spaces. Harriet Kyrous has been really great to work with and I recommend her without hesitation. — Will on Seen & Heard: Preparing for the Silver Blob
AmazonGo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrmMk1Myrxc I would say this is a good thing, assuming it worked like the video. I imagine the test store in Seattle is undergoing a lot of teething pain, but figure any loss/shrink on the system not working right still probably beats any missed revenue opportunity from bailing on the store because the checkout line is 50 deep. — alee on In the News: Is Automated Checkout Coming to Whole Foods?
FIST BUMP! — Kristopher on Valentine No. 53
They took out the entire Quidsi platform (Soap, Wag, etc...). It was great. Now, not so much. I've begun using Jet.com much more & I'm quite happy with it. — Jeff on In the News: Cuomo Picks Outsiders for Battery Park City Board
Thanks for asking about me, I'm back at the Tribeca store doing the overnights there at Whole Foods. At this time I can't do the daytime because I take care of my father. so for right now this is what I got to do, so catch me there till 8 a.m. at Whole Foods. Thank You and to all the customers for your support and keeping me in your prayers, MUCH LOVE. — Harrison Rogers on Valentine No. 53
Amazon also ruined zappos...so disappointed to hear they have acquired WF. — Liz on In the News: Cuomo Picks Outsiders for Battery Park City Board
