Great shots, but where are the snarky captions?!?! — Paul on A Portfolio of Street Photography

That second shot is fantastic! — Rowena on A Portfolio of Street Photography

Thanks for the photos. Great reminder of how things have changed. In 1974, The New York Post did an article of the neighborhood, showcased with a photo of me, a tenant, standing in front of my apartment building, IPN, and the caption was, "Pioneer." I will contact the Post's archives and see if I can get a copy of the photo. In 1974, very few residents were willing to walk down the dark streets pass the eggs and dairy loft warehouse buildings and step over the construction debris to get to their apartment. The photos show that the neighborhood grew from four thousand residents, mostly artists in lofts, to the 40,000 to 50,000 who live here now. — Pearl Duncan on A Scrapbook of Old Tribeca

The rats there have become quite nonchalant about their interaction with neighborhood residents. Tonight I stopped a family with a young girl from walking into the path of a rat who was taking his sweet time about inspecting some garbage before casually strolling back into the construction shed. It so happens that I'm a big rodent fan, and am not bothered by (though I'm realistic about the dangers of) street rats. But I imagine a lot of screaming takes place there at night as pedestrians head toward the restaurant zone. — David G. Imber on In the News: Bogardus Garden Fence to Come Down

my goodness, once the endless road work is gone and Bogardus garden is fixed up, that's going to be a very pretty corner! — liat on In the News: Bogardus Garden Fence to Come Down

I've never told anyone this but I kept the stained glass awning from Teddys. — robbie on A Scrapbook of Old Tribeca

These photographs are amazing. They vividly illustrate how temporary our surroundings really are. And, they remind me of two things; to take photographs of things are are not always conventionally beautiful, and to resist the urge to clean house. Thank you to those who have recorded the moment, kept it, and have shared with us now. — Andrea on A Scrapbook of Old Tribeca

teddy's, classic..... — pete on A Scrapbook of Old Tribeca

All of the fence pics are so pretty! There is beauty all around us all the time, if you just take a moment to look. — Dianna on After the Storm

I will be LIVE tweeting at the CB1 meeting. I just hope no one has a problem with me playing with my "Twitter" during a public meeting. Fingers-crossed. — Jim Smithers on The Proposed Hudson River Park Tax: A Response

I don't think it is fair to ask tribeca owners or tenants to contribute to the park. Given its public property it is better to lobby the city council to allocate funds to it and at the same time improve defenses against potential future storms. Sandy affected all New Yorkers not just west side residents and there should be congressional funding for recovery and preventive efforts. This can be used in conjunction with improving the park. — Gong on The Proposed Hudson River Park Tax: A Response

I think the problem is not the black façade, but that the space is so large. You have to do a ton of business to pay the rent. Compounding that, Trattoria Cinque was fairly inexpensive, so the average check was fairly by Tribeca standards. The space needs to be split into two restaurants, unless that Marc Forgione steakhouse is a real blockbuster. — Marc Shepherd on Trattoria Cinque Has Indeed Closed

@Jim: You should see it erect. — Erik Torkells on Where in Tribeca…?

Would you mind blurring and/or pixelating Howard's "private property?" It's a tad discomforting. — Jim Smithers on Where in Tribeca…?

The name "Gina" appears at least eight times on the Gina La Fornarina menu (as in "Cappuccino Gina" and "Mixed Green Gina"). — Erik Torkells on Seen & Heard: Proposed Spring Studios Stipulations

Howard looks like he's guarding the place!! "Stop... Or I'll shoot...." :) hahhhaa! — Rohin on Where in Tribeca…?

North Moore, ramp to back entrance of Issey Miyake. — Robert Ripps on Where in Tribeca…?

@Rosalie: Afraid not. — Erik Torkells on Where in Tribeca…?

Vestry btw Hudson & Greenwich? — Rosalie on Where in Tribeca…?

Hates skateboards; loves loitering. — Erik Torkells on Where in Tribeca…?

AWWWWW! Howard looks like he doesn't like trespassing. — KP on Where in Tribeca…?

Thanks, Erik! Just bought the last ticket to the tour. I've been inside many times - but never studied it, thinking it would always be there. — Anna on In the News: Woolworth Building Lobby Tours

I have observed these smoke emissions many times and I refuse to believe that they are legal. The air on that part of Thomas becomes unbreathable and thick with soot, and the noise is defeaning. It is a disgrace that they are allowed to continue like this. — J Allen on Seen & Heard: No Hotel at 443 Greenwich
