Fire Patrolman Roma died Sept. 11 and his plaque should be there. I never imagined our historic fire houses would be closed and so for real estate after Sept. 11. There is another haunting issue to contend with and that is the ghost of Fire Patrolmen Schwartz. According to author Arthur C. Smith, Patrolmen Schwartz hung himself at work broken hearted over his wife cheating on him and can be seen in his 1930's regalia. I have to repeat, i can't believe so many of our firehouses have been closed and sold and more is to come. I can't believe the ghost of Babe Ruth is now homeless because a new Yankee Stadium paid in part with tax payer money that most tax payers can't afford tickets to was forced on us. Welcome to Mike Bloomberg's hideous new New York. Anderson Cooper should donate the building to the City of New York.Note: The City Room in my opinion has major integrity issues but that is another story.... I wrote this -- let us see if they post this.
Post-script: An staff member from The New York Times wrote me and told me my comment is now posted.
I wrote him back this....
Thank you. That is new experience for me. My comment on term limits the night of was not approved. I talked about slush money.
That is just one example.
Jeremiah of Vanishingnewyork.blogspot.com, I believe was following my blog and YouTube series on Karen, a tranny that worked in front of Love Saves the Day and in my opinion or should I say my feeling is Jeremiah stole my work. He posted the same photo I posted but with a better camera days after my posting and the City Room never bothered to Google Karen and the topic. If City Room had they would have found my series.
There are countless other examples including a battle I had with yet an editor who made me remove my opinion that Cooper Union's construction build was responsible for the medium sized water main break less than a block away. http://www.ny1.com/1-all-boroughs-news-content/pages/search/?currentUri=http://www.ny1.com/content/top_stories/default.aspx&searchtarget=ny1&searchterm=Suzannah%20B.%20Troy&SecID=243
To date this intersection continues to break open like an open wound.
It seems The New York Times has way too often deleted my comments or made me take away a sentence expressing my opinion but has no problem publishing a comment by NYU or Cooper Union reps and even NYU President John Sexton's insane comment -- that certain people are making their reputation fighting NYU. NYU has destroyed our communities where ever they occupy forcing us out to make room for their unending need to expand.
Thanks for finally getting a comment of mine up and past the usual censors.
