I lived in SoHo in the '70s, and my friend, the painter Laurie Noebels, had a studio on Warren St. We used to work out at the Jack LaLanne Gym in basement of the Woolworth Building, which was open to women on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Wendy O. Williams worked out there too. She was lovely, and she worked hard for that body. — Beth Gutcheon on The punk history of 84 Thomas

People that own cars should be exempt. Yet another tax for property owners in our neighborhood. — J on Nosy Neighbor: How many people drive into downtown?

I don't have anything else. I doubt there are any other news stories. Yes, their website is still up. I assume they would have contacted earlybird members directly -- though I do not know. — Tribeca Citizen on Highcourt is no longer on the table for Broadway

According to the Fall 2019 issue of Downtown Magazine, ":Todd Stone moved into a sprawling loft in the late 1970's. His upstairs neighbors were the punk-metal clan the Plasmatics." https://issuu.com/downtownmagazine/docs/downtown_magazine_nyc_fall_2019 — Alex in NYC (Flaming Pablum) on The punk history of 84 Thomas

Laurie and Todd Stone have lived there for decades, and Todd is a painter of some renown, having done a series on the World Trade Center after 9/11. Something does not quite match up. — Bruce Ehrmann on The punk history of 84 Thomas

Thanks, TriBeCa Citizen for always doing the heavy lifting! I've been following the developments of this social-educational club with interest and especially appreciate the links you've provided in previous posts about the history of the Grosvenor Building and more. Other than this recent update from you, I couldn't find any related news information or announcements about the end of The Highcourt's plans at this venue (their website doesn't mention it either). Do you have any additional details you might share? Thanks as always! — SB on Highcourt is no longer on the table for Broadway

It's bad enough that we have an inflation now. Congestion pricing is only going to make the prices increase the cost of basics like food and goods. Congestion pricing adds a new problem. It's not the solution. — LB on Nosy Neighbor: How many people drive into downtown?

Right-o. I shot this on Varick and Walker, on the east side of the tunnel, but there are a lot of them. — Tribeca Citizen on Where in Tribeca?

Vestrey Street, By the Tunnel. — JASON on Where in Tribeca?

Really? The smallest pie slice shown, 0.1%, is 3,500 people, or nearly 300 dozen people. — James on Nosy Neighbor: How many people drive into downtown?

I believe that Tribeca is still on a positive path of transformation and we will see new art galleries blossoming throughout the neighborhood. — Larry on Highcourt is no longer on the table for Broadway

You assert that the above pie chart includes *all* trips into the CBD. That is not the case. There are no motorcycles included in the above charts or figures. I personally know at least a dozen motorcyclists who regularly commute into the CBD on motorcycles or motor scooters. They're extremely fuel efficient, lightweight, and you can park six motorbikes in one car space. That's why people all over the world use them as affordable alternative transportation. — Cheryl Stewart on Nosy Neighbor: How many people drive into downtown?

Why in God's name is this place still open? It is a safety hazard! NYC DOB or FDNY- do something! — BK Girl on The fireplace at Tiny’s is still causing trouble

What gets me so upset about the yearly fires at Tiny's is the lack of enforcement by Ladder 1. The DOB, DOT, DEP and Landmarks made Edwards,The Odeon ,Max and all the other historic buildings on West Broadway jump thru hoops to abide to the NYC rules and regulations. Why do they all turn a blind eye to Tiny's? Tiny's never got permission from Landmarks to install that aluminum chimney flue- which you can see from the street, or to paint over the original bricks on their facade a two tone pink - one flamingo and one pale pink -not Landmark colors! The DOT has several complaints about the sidewalk shed which is 4 feet from the fire hydrant and forces the foot traffic to step into the busy bike lane in order to get down the street, especially on garbage night. Why do the city agencies give Tiny's a free pass? — Queens Girl on The fireplace at Tiny’s is still causing trouble

Thank you Fire Department for yet again going to Tinys to put out another fire. This restaurant seems to have no regard for the history of the neighboring homes or respect for the people living here now. Must be the owners are living in a safe neighborhood elsewhere where neighbors care about the people living next door. Please start caring before you care that you’re new residence may be behind bars. — Vera Gerharget on The fireplace at Tiny’s is still causing trouble

Well that record shows little regard for the well being of the neighborhood. It looks like just a question of time before a catastrophe. Tiny's seems to be thumbing its nose at we the residents . And furthermore while at it what is the deal with their shed? Two pedestrians cannot pass by the shed and the fire hydrant walking adjacent. They have not left enough room on the sidewalk for any foot traffic. As Rodney Dangerfield would say "No respect" — diannetalan on The fireplace at Tiny’s is still causing trouble

There is also an interesting exhibition in the Oculus at the NYC Culture Club Gallery. "In Nature Nothing Exists Alone" is a group show based on the themes related to "... the urgent need to live more responsibly given the Earth's finite resources." (Taken from the statement by Chris Costan one of the curators.) — JSMiller on Seen & Heard: Nova Octo on Duane – for now

How about recreating the historic building that was torn down to make space for that dreary McDonald's box? It was identical to the still existing cast iron building across the street. Built in 1869, they became known as the "Thomas Street Twins". Oh no, that would be too much to ask for. But might not a clever architect find a way to reference the original building in a new design? Oh no, that would also be too much to ask for too. — George Bacon on Seen & Heard: Nova Octo on Duane – for now

You really shouldn't be quoting streetsblog or taking their research unvetter. He is not a journalist, he is an activist and everything they publish fits their agenda. you might as well print lobbyist. i know you're a neighborhood paper, but beware of just reprinting propaganda. — magna carter on Nosy Neighbor: How many people drive into downtown?

Anyone know what the plans are for the McDonalds that use to be on Broadway. It's become a hub of homeless people who deficit. It's so sad and disgusting to see. — Sandra on Seen & Heard: Nova Octo on Duane – for now

During the late '70s and early "80s, it was not uncommon to see Wendy on the streets of Tribeca. — Makes You Go Hmmmm.... on The punk history of 84 Thomas

An LLC of which Mark Harounian is the managing member, according to city records — Tribeca Citizen on Highcourt is no longer on the table for Broadway

Nearly every car I see parked on the streets of Tribeca has a placard. That's a good place to start. For one: why isn't every official vehicle at least a hybrid? — troy on Nosy Neighbor: How many people drive into downtown?

What a shame. Who or what entity owns it? — Richard on Highcourt is no longer on the table for Broadway
