"Bedpan Alley" is on the move. @OurTownNYC exclusively reports
https://t.co/hnAGtE4gGx how a medical school bought a church on the
Upper East Side -- and the church used the cash to buy another church.
Thus in two transformational real estate deals, Yorkville was changed
forever.
It was one of America's most unpopular wars. But that doesn't make the soldiers who fought it any less honorable, heroic or humane: @HudsonWarehouse is marking Veterans Day w real-life stories of Vietnam at @ArtsatGoddard as chronicled in @WestSideSpirit / https://t.co/N4YhUdcyHL
Poll workers telling voters at 351 East 61 in Manhattan to wait on this long “scanner line” or follow the “emergency procedure”. Leave our used ballot behind, and a mystery person will scan it later. DONT DO THE LATTER cc:@nypost@NYDailyNews@NY1@WNYC@NYTMetro
“We live the exact values the assailant repudiated." Confronting horror and hate with soul searching and hope, the great synagogues of the UES, UWS and Downtown grapple w/ the massacre of Jewish innocents in Pittsburgh: https://t.co/HVegt5G5uS in @WestSideSpirit and @OurTownNYC
Boatloads of East Siders commute by ferry on the East River as West Siders go nowhere fast on the Hudson -- a transit backwater, a RIVER OF NO RESPECT. But an empty berth is available at 125th Street. A tale of 2 rivers https://t.co/lfcr8btg3q in @OurTownNYC and @WestSideSpirit
The school that time forgot, PS 290 on the UES, has no gym or designated space for play or recess. So 3rd- 4th- and 5th-graders are forced to exercise on E 82nd St @OurTownNYC reports that the PTA want to get the kids of the street. And up to the rooftop https://t.co/enQN9ATMql
Cynthia Nixon trounced Andrew Cuomo -- in 2 square blocks between 10th and 12th Streets in the Village. She also triumphed in a landslide -- on Bleecker, Carmine and Cornelia Streets @OurTownNYC & @WestSideSpirit present the election returns you never saw https://t.co/08i3uhaHwM
John Jay Park has been a godsend on the UES for 100-plus years. Now, it's a battlefield. At issue: Should a corner of the oasis morph into a serene space for seniors or an active exercise yard for the young & fit? @OurTownNYC plumbs the dueling visions: https://t.co/N6dz0SuGd7
Wow! The new UES ferry lines are glorious, the views breathtaking. The problem: If you're old, infirm or frail, scaling the pitched slope w/ 70-plus steps to reach the E 90th St landing is no picnic. @OurTownNYC takes you on the tough slog to a fast ferry https://t.co/IlPFTqjQNq
One UES political club was founded on May 23rd. The other back in 1956. And the birth of the upstart @eastriverdems played a role in the near-death experience of @LenoxHillDC, its hallowed older rival @OurTownNYC chronicles Life and Loss in the Club Scene https://t.co/itSLXcN44a
Very rare in NYC politics to see a candidate who answers to two names. But @EliotRabinForUS, aka Peter Elliot, is not your conventional GOP contender. @OurTownNYC explores the UES clothier's dual identities https://t.co/SAvHzTVO5T and his quixotic bid to topple @CarolynBMaloney
Wags for decades have counted out Manhattan's old-fashioned Democratic political clubhouses. BAD IDEA! https://t.co/6FkpRHh8Jw Now, 10 of them are hunting for a winner in the AG race between @TishJames@ZephyrTeachout, @LeeciaEve as first reported in @WestSideSpirit & @OurTownNYC
Think economists, statisticians and bankers don't have a sense of humor? WRONG! They can be playful, mirthful and droll. Consider a @NewYorkFed social media campaign to welcome their new boss https://t.co/KeRZ1ZeKaa as first reported in @OTDowntown, @WestSideSpirit & @OurTownNYC
