cute! Reminds me of my wedding day (a couple years ago). don't worry - we're still together and happy as clams! (the trick is to "date steady" for 14 years before tying the knot.) — Will Meyerhofer on Tribeca is for lovers
I went with the live video, which was taken at Reade and Greenwich. Did not see the police report myself. — Pam Frederick on In the News: Man stabbed on Greenwich and Reade
Retail has and continues to vanish on Greenwich Street, making the area more crime-prone. Best Market, which was open to 11:00 p.m. vanished suddenly, darkening a formerly well lit swath of Greenwich. And now, the businesses a half a block down Greenwich are slated to close -- the pet store, the eyeglass store and the liquor store -- because the building has reportedly been sold. Greenwich is soon to be a darkened ghost town where residents should have second thoughts about walking after dark. — Jane Slavin on In the News: Man stabbed on Greenwich and Reade
When will the sidewalk awning of 23 Warren be removed. It has been there at least 10 years!! — Pip on The sun comes out on Warren Street
The blue sidewalk shed at 23 Warren, on the south side of Warren between Church and Broadway taking up nearly half the block, has been there for 10 years at least. There does finally seem to be work going on above near the corner, which started within the last few months. Now, adding to the construction sidewalk shed on the opposite corner, in addition to the street being dug up to replace aging pipes, it is an ugly mess. We on our block would like to know what the plan is for that sidewalk shed. Will it ever be taken down? — Pip on The sun comes out on Warren Street
Thanks, James! I should have guessed it was branding, and not just a word of inspiration. — Pam Frederick on Where in Tribeca?
On my first walk down the ‘uncovered’ street in 5 years, I encountered a resident of the building it protected, marveling at the openness and view of blue sky from the sidewalk. The construction fences and glass towers are making our streets clostrophobic enough, while safety comes first, let’s hope that these bridges truly stay within the definition of ‘tempoarafy’ (though I don’t actually know what that definition is according to the DOB or whomever oversees these things). Here’s to my and my neighnors’ brighter and lighter walk home each evening! — Jamie P on The sun comes out on Warren Street

James got it. On the southwest corner. I'd love to know how it came to be... — Pam Frederick on Where in Tribeca?
i use the citizen app and find it extremely accurate. all my friends use it also. they frequently have info on the app that it takes TV news hours to get to. — irma zandl on In the News: Man stabbed on Greenwich and Reade
I took the dog out last night around 12:30AM and they had "scene of the crime" tape right under the shed that was just put up at Jay and Greenwich -- alongside the carpet store. Odd because 9pm is still fairly early with people eating at Sarabeth's and the street shed is well lit. — paul on In the News: Man stabbed on Greenwich and Reade
Not to nitpick since the Citizen app screenshot says Reade, but the Trib story directly cites the location as Jay near Greenwich while the Post story doesn't specify the location but the photo shows the Jay / Greenwich intersection. — N on In the News: Man stabbed on Greenwich and Reade
MEANWHILE.... across the street at IPN many 'LAP' tenants received the opportunity to be bought out letters today. No one really knows what going on at IPN. Unfortunately too much hearsay. However I met someone who works for Vornado who said they had big plans for the whole space. Yet. no one can find out the true intentions. — resident at IPN on Myoptics, Dudley’s, Tribeca Wine closing?

“The Coat” is a sponsored story seen on sites such Daily Mail produced by a viral news chop shop in the Ukraine. It only became a movement after it was embedded between real news stories. Advertisers win! — Boosmom on Seen & Heard: Free classes for kids + moms at BPC
There is a Quality of Life & Service Delivery Committee meeting next Thursday the 21st at the MBPO, 1 Centre Street, 19th Fl. South. I attended the last one which included 17 people representing the DDC & Con Ed. Their timeline sounded significantly different from this - much longer. I am attending again and encourage others to do the same. There were only 5 residents of the community in attendance which was disappointing. Those who did attend demanded more transparency and honesty from both agencies. — Jax on Construction update part two: Worth Street

This whole plan and process seem rushed; as noted above, so many unanswered questions. The community input process seems very late and perfunctory. Not only the communities, but the taxpayers who will pay for this massive questionable project, and just the citizenry in general, deserve to know much more, and to have serious guiding input and decision influence on any such plan. Whatever problems plague Rikers, there is not a consensus that this massive plan will even solve those problem.
