  • Lamont only briefly coached one of my kids in basketball at 234 and that was well over a decade ago. But when I walked by Manhattan Youth the other day and saw him in the doorway it made me so happy to see his face, to know he is still here for the kids, and I thought to myself how people like Lamont make this neighborhood a community. And now this article -- Perfect timing. And yes, I agree with all of the above comments: well-deserved! And such a great idea to highlight a citizen of the month! — Karen B on Citizen of the Month: Lamont Williams

  • Yeah, you're right. And I am busted for my gender norming. But I only stood outside constructions sites (for hours) with one of my three kids, and that was a boy. — Pam Frederick on Infrastructure Nerd Alert: View the bridge installation

  • I second this recommendation. I follow them on Instagram and it is amazing to see the work they do. They are located on Columbus Ave. in the 80's. There is a short video on their website about what to do if you find an injured bird. Well worth watching. — jsm on Seen & Heard: Danny was ill, but is recovering

  • Oh my I see dead birds all the time walking my dog. Also little birds and pigeons who sit pensively and barely move and you know they are having a hard time. My husband and I have nursed several back to health. When I used to buy theatre tixs at the WTC birds would crash into the tower all the time. Urban life can be very hard on our feathered friends. — TG on Seen & Heard: Danny was ill, but is recovering

  • Lamont has genuinely been a part of my son's growing up. With the many youth of the neighborhood clambering for his attention and approval, Lamont made everyone -- parents and kids -- feel they were cared for. It's natural that Tribeca is no longer recognizable to me as the cozy place we raised our kids, but Lamont helped make it a neighborhood and a home. Lamont, you've touched many lives! — Roark Dunn on Citizen of the Month: Lamont Williams

  • Why would only 3 year old boys be interested in seeing a bridge installation? I'm a female bridge engineer with 10 years experience and my 2 year old daughter is very interested in her toy trucks and blocks. — E.C on Infrastructure Nerd Alert: View the bridge installation

  • Lamont is the best. I've known him pretty much since he first started working in TriBeCa. We are very grateful to have him in our lives and in our kids' lives. He shares his beautiful heart daily and tirelessly - an inspiration for the rest of us as to what being a "citizen" of the world truly means. When Lamont walks into a room, a field, the schoolyard, a court - MAGIC happens. Thank you for everything Lamont. We love you. — Marla Mase on Citizen of the Month: Lamont Williams

  • I cant tell you how many times over the years since our kids grew up that i would run into Lamont and he would always ask about Ming and Mickey. Now Mickey and Natalie are having a baby and Ming is getting married to Melissa and when i see Lamont i know that there is continuity in this neighborhood. No secret that some of the props goes to Bob Townley, Mona Chan and a lot of the staff who have been there from the beginning. I cant think of a nicer person than Lamont. Congratulations and thank you for your steadfast positive imput over the last 30 years or so. Dan Alterman & LiWah Lai — Dan Alterman on Citizen of the Month: Lamont Williams

  • Lamont, This is great to read, well-deserved! I am forever grateful for the kindness, creativity, patience, and fun that you showed my 2 sons and daughter who all adore you. You made a few of their birthdays inspiring celebrations of life. Thank you for all that you do.
