"The Seaport might or might not be part of any HHC change of ownership. Chief Executive David Weinreb last week confirmed that the publicly traded company was exploring a possible sale, among other options, to maximize shareholder value. HHC hired Centerview Partners to review strategic options. "The step was triggered by major shareholder and HHC Chairman Bill Ackman, who complained that the share price lagged the value of company holdings." — James on Community Board 1 agendas for July

Yes you should be legally entitled to reimbursement just like all of the 85 John St. Tenants that lived in the building prior to the expiration of their 421g tax abatement. Also, if the landlord, in this case Kibel, did not state on every page of the lease that the building was under a 421g tax abatement, then all tenants are entitled to rent stabilization, even after the expired tax abatement, if they held a lease prior to the expiration. — 85 John St. Tenant on Apartments in 50 Murray, 90 West were illegally deregulated

HI James, Congratulations that is correct. It is located on the Cafe Clementine on West Broadway. You are a winner! regards, Sonia Stock — Sonia F. Stock on Where in Tribeca?
Regarding the galleries, I'm glad to see a lot of those in the neighborhood! Apparently, in addition to the TriBeCa Art + Culture Night every few months, some galleries are starting a "1st Thursdays" event. Here's info on one coming up on July 4th: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1st-thursdays-art-walk-nya-tribeca-6-galleries-100-exhibitors-6-9pm-tickets-63282888824 — Marcus on In the News: A worker falls from 28 Hubert construction
Trader Joe's, vastly smaller in corporate profits, ALWAYS has an abundance of cashiers from the instant they open. WF has no competition south of Canal Street and is unwilling, in spite of their wealth, to employ enough register people. They claim they have trouble finding cashier people...I guess Traders has hijacked them all?! Also, have you noticed in the Cafe they use uncoated paper plates that soak right through from the food moisture. Mark, who do we blame for the paper plates?? Love to talk with you..my name us in the stores system so I can verify its me. — John on Whole Foods removes registers to make room for Prime Now
The request surprised me as well and it took much back and forth to find an acceptable solution for me and for them. As you may know, death notices are required by the court when settling estates. They are very common in print newspapers. However, as you also likely realize, there is no longer a local print newspaper, so they found the TC instead. They could have done a sponsored post, but that had even less appeal to me. You are right that this site is a business and it makes money through its advertising -- and for those advertisers I am very grateful. The site would not exist without them, quite simply. I did not solicit this ad or even encourage it, but I could not find a reason to give them an outright no. — Pam Frederick on In the News: Extending the Seaport historic district
Pam, I know transitions are challenging. I give you a ton of credit for taking over a beloved institution like TC and, over time, putting your own stamp on it. I also recognize that, in order for you to continue to bring us interesting news about the goings on downtown, you have to have advertisers so that you have income. But I think this week’s legal notice crosses a line. It’s tacky, jarring to the eye and so out of character with all the other advertisements on the site. It’s great to read about and then maybe support businesses in the area. But this just seems unseemly. Obviously, one person’s humble opinion, but a strong enough one to get me to write. Thanks for listening and for the work you do to keep us informed. Wendy — Wendy on In the News: Extending the Seaport historic district
The lines would move faster if shoppers helped pack their own bags instead of talking on the phone and letting the cashiers do everything. I’ve asked WF to give a 10 cent credit for every bag packed by a shopper as an incentive but they don’t seem interested. — Frequent shopper on Whole Foods removes registers to make room for Prime Now

We have a dog run available at our building in the UWS. Although a great concept, it ends up being a place where lazy people let their dogs pee and poop...we don't take our dog down there anymore...it's worse then the sidewalks! — DC on 77 Greenwich tops out at Rector Street
One reason I have heard is that they supposedly blocked drivers views around corners when making turns. Most of the older ones were not high like this "homage," but lower similar to the ones on Broadway & Wall Street. — Robert Ripps on Nosy Neighbor: Is the Franklin Street station canopy being removed?
The mailbox at Warren & Broadway was removed & never returned days after 9/11 for “security reasons” never to be seen again. The corner drainage grates were paved over for “security reasons” as well & have never replaced. The massive puddles at corners (south of Chambers on Broadway) & warnings of West Nile virus along with spraying for mosquitoes all resulted from that particular decision. — Tom on Nosy Neighbor: Where have all the post office boxes gone?
