NYU's mostly empty trolleys and sharks on Broadway, yes they have a permit

If you have money honey and powerful friends like NYU does you can do just about anything in the big Apple. Despite NYU's well paid hired hands saying how green minded NYU is, NYU continues to chauffeur their students around in mostly empty trolleys and buses and continues to use Broadway and Lafayette as their personal parking lot when they have so much private property to park all of their fleet of NYU buses and trolleys.   NYU like our public officials need to help this polluted city by taking public transportation.  NYU can provide a bike sharing program as well.    Please click on the photo of the NYU trolley and look for yourself.  One student.  Either get rid of them or stop and pick up New Yorkers from the community if they are empty but really just get rid of them.   There is too much traffic congestion and Discovery Channel was congesting traffic in a different way.

Discovery Channel had very good looking people yelling "Shark" and an NYPD officer did pull over to check and see if they did have a permit. Yes they did. It was yet another spectacle in the side show that is NYC.

Joba Chamberlin put on your spiritual safety belt and bumble and bumble hair products

Yo Joba congrats and post 9-11,I developed this "appreciation" for big teddy bears (Mae West would understand when I say I prefer younger men) so you caught my eye.   I love American Indian jewelry because the pieces I have are spiritual - the images of the animals, sun, Mother Earth are significant.  I also made an art series that talked to this and Joba time to put on your spiritual  safety belt!!!!!!

Do not let this go to your head.   As much as your it seems cools it can destroy you -- all the "stuff" people throw at you, worse than any curve ball.  Be wary of all this success because it can be much more challenging than being a professional athlete.    There are really uncool people that would happily "hook up", sucker you so I hope you have people helping you so stay humble, stay close to Mother Earth, be humble or you will tumble.

ps for those following my blog, I am losing my hair and I want to shave it all off because it is so expensive to color it which makes it look thicker.  Alder of Public got me to use "Bumble and Bumble prep" and their hair powder...I bought the smallest bottles possible for 5 bucks each and they do give you the illusion of thicker hair.

Con Ed -- Gas blast injuries 17 in Queens yesterday

http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/queens/2008/07/25/2008-07-25_more_than_a_dozen_injured_in_explosion_a-2.html

http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/queens/2008/07/25/2008-07-25_hero_dives_into_blaze_to_save_kids-2.html

My feeling is Con Ed cannot keep up with this way too rapid development expansion and keep the people of this city safe.  They needed to say slow down way back when and they did not and that includes the mayor on our behalf for all aspects of infrastructure.

I think of Jodi Lane who took her dogs for a walk in the East Village, the place she called home and died.  How many people have died or been injured post 9-11 due to infrastructure concerns?

Again so many people hurt and my heart goes out to them.  The New York Daily News has some moving coverage of this latest tragedy.

nudity for activisim and the need for transparency in city government

I will go nude to get my point across but I want my words written on my body and the same treatment as Lindsey Lohan got for New York Mag if that is what it takes...and that includes body guards, etc.

Well that is never going to happen. I want transparency "nudity" -- I want the mayor on down to our community boards to get nude -- transparency. Ironically when you have mega billiionaires and mega millionaires in government there is a lot that could be considered "conflict of interest" but people just shrug. It is one of the complicated aspects most ignored since the new economy of mega wealth has afforded mega wealth seats in government but I want way more transparency in city goverment and that includes at the community board level as well including the need to vote for representatives at community board level.

The most affordable way to get body guards is to run for mayor of NYC and win!

I know people were scared I was running for some job in city government so much so The Villager (not anymore) cut me out of the article on Whole Earth Bakery and Kitchen way back when and I was sent an email that said the author of the article stated I did not say anything different than anyone else -- hmmmm, I stated NYU and all the mega dorms use the term community facility to supersize and exclude us -- we want community facilities in every mega dorm and they will help small businesses, the community, you can walk in use a free computer, ask for a tutor and hmmmmm, I was the only one to mention Filomena Silvestri and the fact she died knowing we fought for her -- returned some of that love she directed at us and she died at 94 knowing her business was not evicted out on the street. If you want to know who "runs" The Villager -- look at the double page spread of photos that praises the anniversary of the paper -- and it includes John Sexton among others that kid themselves they are so wonderful for our community. I was also told by Lincoln Anderson via email the author of the piece wondered if I was running for city government. Hmmm, interesting that I was erased. (Erasing someone is not murder...and the reporter that erased me also erased Filomena and me thanking the community for making the difference, for sending a message, for showing the difference between the East Village being a village and not NYU-ville!)

Everyone uses the papers starting with The New York Times and their special friends got phony p.r. pieces front page so it is nothing new.

Just like people shrugging their shoulders when the 2 words "politics" and corruption come up.

I don't want a job in city government. It says "artist" at the top of the page and I consider "words" part of my art.

ps They air brush or are the words computer enhance nude photos, hmmmm.

pps Nudity got your attention but the reality is we need nudity---transparency in city government -- here is a theoretical -- let us say Con Ed finds a way to give a city worker some kind of "endowment" for lack of a better word....we need to know what are city representatives relationships to higher ed when they are no.1 and no.3 (No1 NYU. No. 3 Columbia U.) real estate magnates of NYC and throw in Cooper Union and NY Law.

we need to know what are the relations with big business to people that work for city government, we need to know if so and so dated so and so before they ran for that persons job and won or was appointed -- maybe that is not a problem but maybe it is.

We need transparency, we need accountability and we need to know the people of New York come before community crushing greed and that includes safety from infrastructure problems like the Con Ed blast yesterday and how can Con Ed or any part of city government and the people keep up with this tsunami of way too rapid development?

The New York Post showed us how much our local politictians spend to get around the city -- it was in the millions. Time for public transportation so they can spend more time with the public. How much do we pay for the mayor's transportation. I have not seen him on a subway?

NYtimes metro section article on the mayor making millions? Lucky guy contrasted with the city going bust quality of life going down

I can't find the link so if you can email it but this week I thought I saw an article in The New York Times, metro section that stated the mayor made millions while in office...he is just a lucky guy.

First I want a refund-- I want him to pay us back the dollar we pay him and we can put it in to the city budget.   How much do we pay mega millionaire sociality city planner Amanda Burden?  What ever it is can we have the money back to use toward re-opening our firehouses and I wish she stayed a socialite marrying mega rich men and divorcing them.   (By the way in NYC it is a socially acceptable way to earn mega bucks, marrying and divorcing rich men.  By the way I am told the goal is to have at least one baby right away to get more money! )  However Amanda Burden was born with a platinum spoon in her mouth.  Dollar bill Dan Doctoroff can we have the dollar back?

 2nd I posted and email that I sent that asked that the city budget is bust can the mayor pay for speed bumps in front of the only 2 schools below Houston in the Lower East Side area that I have seen that do not have them.

http://suzannahbtroy.blogspot.com/2008/07/dot-did-takes-steps-for-safety-but-i.html

It is just obscene that he makes this kind of money and closes our firehouses, libraries --he has enough to solve our budgetary woes out of his own pockets and when  I see all these celebrities ask us for donations I always think the same about them as well.  If we give 50 dollars and scale that up to what they earn --- they could be giving millions.    And then you have billionaires as The New York Sun pointed out about one New York billionaire born in Brooklyn who declares Virgin Islands his home which is just another way he is not paying taxes here in NYC.

We also need to put a cap on the no. 1 and no. 3 real estate magnates -- it is obscene that you can buy up all of New York and use the not for profit status as shelter.  I continue to ask you news reporters visiting this blog and email them directly -- you have the resources I don't, do the math, what would all these not for profit institutions have to pay the city of New York in taxes and show how much of New York they own.

Let us have a list of how many billionaires make New York their playing field and play ground owning some of the largest houses here in NYC but refuse to declare NYC as their home and answers those questions and than tell me how the city could be going more bust than it was when the mayor closed our firehouses and our starting salary for the NYPD got lowered which should NEVER have happened and still puts the city in a awkward position like so many -- bottom line  -- if it is true that the mayor sold Donnell Library, and 

my belief that you can't let greedy NYU supersize the East and West Village with out examining the safety and environmental concerns including infrastructure meaning for instance they cram 900 students into the St. Ann's mega dorm and yes they throw down the newest pipes for sewage and water which I saw them do but they are connected to old pipes and the pressure of throwing 900 plus friends use of water and sewage and add in all the other aspects of infrastructure means the old pipes down the street do break because they are old and rotting.

My old home water would come out rust colored sometimes...the city especially in the Village -- East and West have old pipes and supersizing buildings and throwing down new pipes just in front of the hotels, condos and mega dorms doesn't assure the safety of the community.

When the pipes breaks it means people and small businesses are displaced which thrills greedy developers.   Anything that makes is impossible to live here is a good thing for greedy developers.   

I believe our safety has been jeopardized in so many ways because of this tsunami of community crushing development and I was published first in AM New York, 'Destroying Old New York" January 11, 2007 on my concerns for the East Village because of St. Ann's tear down and city wide.

I believe safety concerns and our quality of life concerns worsening even further continued to be ignored and New Yorkers are paying some with their lives, injuries and with higher everything and less to show for it or being pushed out of the city.

Donnell Library sold! First it was firehouses now libraries?

Dear loyal readers to my blog, an activist emailed me this...
> It seems that the Bloomberg administration is selling off the public libraries for special interests and private companies once again by having sold the Donnell Library to a hotelier! They are stealing from children and the general public and it represents a huge step backwards for America. the Bloomberg administration is purposefully misusing their position of power and check out the bio of the Chief Operating officer of the New York Public library.

A new and inferior library will open in it's basement so that the patrons can scurry underground like rodents. I see this as theft of assets from the public (us)!

smiling but cranky

I am smiling and feeling a little more light hearted since Big Bad Tom was concerned and gave me a pep talk via the blog.  I know he is right about less words more pictures but I love words.

Now as Mae West might say, I want to get somethings off my chest, bare my.....

soul since every day NYC becomes more soulless -- it is more important than ever to be soulful passionate rather than be silent.  The greedy me monsters want you to be silenced by intimidation or just shop as they turn this city in to a mirrored generic shopping mall.

I wonder if I shaved my head and wore big baggy shirts how people would treat me.  I would save so much money, time and energy.  I can't tell you how much money it costs to dye your hair.

I used to be very muscular, chunky and have very short hair and very few people recognize me now but I am surprised by some people from so long ago that do.  One guy that has been hanging on the street for as long as I have lived here knows me and remembers me from when I was much heavier and much more muscular.

One morning after being harassed as in the kind where you go down to the police precinct and file a report harassed and a little more attention from another guy I went and got a big gold ring put in my nose!  An older man when I was feeling really really blue after Sept. 11 and comforted me gave me such a pep talk and I happen to bump in to him again with the big gold ring and he convinced me to go home and take it out.

I love being 46 years old and I feel more comfortable in my body than ever.

I just can't stand the law of   inequality and lack of freedom and I promise you if I get upset I will radically alter my appearance.  When I see young women with piercings and mohawks and I really understand.   The police can do very little for you until after your are harmed big and bad and or murdered and if you listened to my podcast "Murderville East Village" in my fictional tale the female character comes back and she is very, very angry and she makes her anger felt by all those involved in causing her pain and her death.  This is my art and this is how I work out my feelings through paint and words.   

Also note I have a much more positive feeling about the NYPD than many in the neighborhood and I really feel they do so much we take for granted which makes the streets safer but I do admit sometimes I do feel scared.  They carry a badge and have authority and it is so important they have a strong sense of integrity and that goes for retirees as well because they still have a badge and some still have guns and if they don't have integrity they become society's problem.

ps  Question:  If I had not but up this busty photo would you have read my thoughts.

I feel calm now but I really had some major upset about NYU, the purple reign of terror and destruction of the East Village and West -- they are so predatory waiting for buildings to empty as in people being evicted for their greed disguised as not for profit.

Same with they creepy greedy landlords that sell themselves a building they own for a dollar and evict long term community members.

News flash Tompkins Square park and I have my inner beauty switch on!

Yo, everything was flashing in and around Tompkins Square Park from badges as in more arrests to knifes and light bulbs and some didn't think the knifes were part of the film.

In NYC it is hard to tell reality from movies.

Jay was very happy to have met David Duchovny and David went out of his way even with 2 big body guards to shake Jay's hand.  That is a nice trickle down, the only better would be to hire Jay and other characters as extras.

It is a well known fact that the real star in David's family is his MOM who has a huge following they love her because she is a wonderful teacher at the school in Grace Church.  You know the school entrance that faces the billard bar but as usual if you own a bar in the East Village you seem to be able to get around a lot of things like being across from a children's school entrance in Grace Church.   

I do have my inner beauty switch on but if there is a black out it isn't my inner beauty switch.

Thanks to all the "real" people that come to visit my blog and I wish you good vibrations.

I do have flash backs and my response to them is karma oh yeah.

Hit the delete button.  Be patient it takes time to adjust and I just moved after 20 years.  I am a true cancerian, home is everything.   I am considering moving again as soon as I can and camping out in Tompkins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The New York Times coverage of the shooting in the East Village

http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/07/24/east-village-dispute-leads-to-shootings/?scp=1-b&sq=shooting+East+Village&st=nyt

a little venting on Tompkins, the quality of life in NYC, and predication more falls to come

One:  I am sick of the film crews and the poor and middle class are just getting poorer as the cost of living is going up so they should treat the neighborhood like they do when they visit poor countries and make sure there is a trickle down that can be felt!  Hire poor people.  There are huge amounts of them -- far more visible than the oppressive film crew.

Our historic area is being destroyed and if they don't actively help they will have to go back to Canada and recreate NYC and guess what -- the people of the East Village will feel as much trickle down if they film in Canada.   The filming falsely "glamourize" the area and every college kids wants to live here.   

Two:  Wow the dogs of the East Village have a new improved dog run and everyone knows I LOVE DOGS, really all kinds of dogs but how about humans?   When are we going to get tamper proof soap dispensers in the mens and womens bathrooms.

I asked for "smart doors" and I got them...small modesty doors that give us the basic human right to some privacy but discourage the problems that go on whether there are doors or not because people that are going to go in there to do drugs, have sex, or pass out on the floor will do so whether there are doors or no doors.  Having doors allows the good citizens the basic human rights of a little privacy and when I see elderly women, handicapped women and Mom's with their kids in there using the doors I am happy.

The men's bathroom  has a nick name with the word play on "little shop of horrors'.   I can't remember the actually "name" for the men's bathroom at Tompkins but yes all of the above goes on in there but the men's room has no doors. (I think I remember the word play but it is way to vulgar to share and I also remember a request for toilet paper that is user friendly.) The time has come for them to have a door -- some kind of  very minimal door that discourages sitting down and shooting up which they are going to do anyway with out a door but allows a guy to do what he has to do if you get the drift.  I have seen men go in to the women's room to go to the bathroom because they need a door.  Don't make me spell it out.   Give them one small door, smaller than what we have but give them something so they don't feel compelled to walk in to the women's bathroom.

I AM TIRED OF ASKING FOR TAMPER PROOF SOAP DISPENSERS, contrast that with the parks dept. unnecessary improvements in Washington Square Park which in my opinion is obscene when there are POOR PARKS ALL OVER THIS CITY THAT REALLY NEED THAT money and the people would benefit.  Washington Square Park "improvements" are to benefit NYC's largest real estate owner (and not for profit----calculate the taxes they would owe the city if they didn't have the status aka tax shelter, that is right it is...) NYU!!!!   NYU owns most of the property around  Washington Square Park and destroyed all of the beauty with their hideous architecture.  The mayor pushed this wasteful unwanted improvements for his good friend "NYU" (the purple reign of terror, the evil empire of the East and West Village, Stuy Town, the Seaport, Chelsea) and for tourism and we can't even get soap to wash our hands.   Hey mayor Mike, please if you are in the East Village and you need to use the facilities, please stop by Tompkins Square Park!   Some how I don't think we will ever see the mayor here in Tompkins ever.  Adrian Benepe has made some brief visits to Tompkins for publicity I think but I bet he has never set foot in the mens room and I wish he had to.

I am so sick of asking for soap dispensers that make an appearance for a day and than are gone.

I was so embarrassed I told a Mom to take her daughter through the gates to the children's bathroom so the little girl could wash her hands with soap.  Can we have better treatment than the dogs of Tompkins?

We have a huge population of people hanging in the park and in NYC and guess what -- they have to use the bathrooms...it is a basic fact of life so we need them open and with basics like soap and some kind of modesty doors have ever small to discourage abuse. 

Nice that the dogs of the East Village have a new improved dog run,  how about the men's and women's bathrooms?

ps  I really appreciate the 9th Precinct and I don't take for granted I can walk in the park and down the street and feel some what safe because of their work so thank you 9th Precinct.  I have compassion for the police having to deal with drunks, drug addicts, and many complicated aspects of society that most of us are clueless of, avoid, etc.   

pps  The name for the mens room at Tompkins, //// house of horrors,  

old english  a noun or verb

Adrian Benepe, do you give a "care" or substitute with old english. ???????

(Under the mayor it is all big business butting in and the people of this city's quality of life has gone down the toilet and that includes walking down the street and not getting electrocuted like Jodi Lane, or sitting at a bar and getting crushed by a crane falling, etc. etc. etc.

It is about quality of life or the lack of life vs greed in this new economy that is part of this tsunami of community crushing development.  It is like the fall of Rome...prepare for more scandals and arrogant people who really think their time will never come.  

Quality of life is going down...

Suzannah B. with Adam Techno-head and "canvas off the wall" on Brooklyn for savings and high quality

Yes, I have the urban "stressed out angry look" -- and no I am not botoxing it away.

I have a humorous story about that but there is a blush factor so ask me to tell you in person!

Since we are going to get killed on things like Con Ed bills, etc. etc. if not just walking down the street, Jodi Lane rest in peace, I decided to go to Brooklyn to try more bang for my buck.

I am coloring my hair to give it the illusion of thickness rather than shave my head because I know it is radical and people will be less friendly unless it is because of an illness but that would be the ultimate budget savor.

I went to "Public" on Metropolitan and Alder (name of species of tree, he is from the west coast) worked some magic on me.  Alder is wonderful and he got it my passion for NYC and my Mae West sense of humor.

I also need to strengthen more core big time and pilates is one of my tools so again Brooklyn here I come,

I was visiting one of my favorite eateries "City Bakery" and a person I adore that wears the very same American Indian jewelry told me he had heard that Roland had passed on...right there at the store.  I think his wife is going to try and keep the store going but I don't know.

I started shopping there when they were in the West Village but do to the escalating rents they had to move.

Along time ago -- Roland helped me pick out a piece of jewelry, Navajo, that was mystical and I believed protected me and I have a ring that has the sun and corn that I love so much.

Last time we talked I bought a blanket coat which everyone stops me and asked me where did I buy it and another blanket.   

I told Roland about my throat burn and pains in my chest and how much NYU's destruction of St. Ann's and the community crushing development was affecting me and he said I had to protect my health.  So sad to hear he passed away.

The New York Post, David Seifman, Buck kickers, how about reality kickers?

http://www.nypost.com/seven/07242008/news/regionalnews/butt_kickers_121294.htm thoughts in response to David Seifman's piece today on Bloomberg and Gates mega bucks anti smoking campaign

Butt kickers reality kickers How about an anti eviction campaign?  How about bail out NYC campaign. The mayor has made it impossible to afford NY unless you are mega rich a college kid or a tourist    How about reopening our fire houses?    After he leaves office we will have to declare the city a seperate country, bankcruptcy and have the IMF (International Monetary Fund) bail us out.   Suzannah B Troy 

Really, who can afford to live here and like evictions it is just going to get worse...as the exodus continues...The fire, police, ems, nurses had to leave, they couldn't afford to live here, it has just gotten way more extreme like this tsunami of way too rapid development and safety concerns and all kinds of extremely important concerns for the people of this great City were not the priority.

You can hear my poem Buy Town, Stuy Town which mentions Bloomberg's last anti-smoking campaign and the fact he closed fire houses even though the population is increasing.

By the way, more people are smoking than ever.

A sweatshop in Queens, Factory linked to popular retailers owes millions to workers, NY says

by Amy Zimmer

Will the City, State, anyone question NYU's supersizing on an old infrastructure?

In the East Village no one weighs heavy on our old infrastructure than NYU and environmental concerns were brushed aside as well when objections to St. Ann's being torn down and supersized were raised. Anyone reading my blog knows the State of New York was suppose to examine this because St. Ann's was historical even though not landmark protected and the USPS when selling the air rights was suppose to contact the State of NY but the USPS like NYU felt we are above the law because hey we are federal. NYU feels they are above the law and community concerns because they are not for profit and their portfolio of power broker friends including the mayor and city planner.

If NYU supersizes in the West Village -- they may be supersizing near infrastructure from the late 1800's early 1900's as the latest water main break maybe a mile away revealed.


Is there any news reporter or anyone who has the power to hold NYU accountable with regard to infrastructure concerns, environmental issues and being a good partner in the community?

Too date the answer is "No".

I have asked the press to contact NYU and do the math -- figure out what would NYU have to pay in taxes if they were not  "not for profit" (yeah right) and how about Columbia University as well?

I would like to see a map of all the property NYU owns and leases in NYC and globally.

labyrinth free app on iphone

labyrinth--yup a free app -- application on iphone.
Made me think of Laura one of my favorite black and white films and I based "murderville East Village" on Laura but it is about the murder of the East Village.

I think of Dana Andrew playing with his little game and in my story the NYPD techno wiz kid cop would have his state of the art techno version.

my thoughts on NYU's phony p.r. and an NYU groupie puts me down, hi ya John Sexton jr.

For the put down artist, I post my real name and my blog as a resource and I suggest anyone who wants to get a look at NYU's mega destruction type in the words "St. Ann's" in the search engine for my blog" but John Sexton jr. who puts me down but without signing a real name as in coward.   Gee, I am sorry for calling you a coward oh nameless one on nymag.com but let us see, NYU had people that prayed at St. Ann's on their knees on 12th Street crying and praying on the street, NYU has mega dormed the East Village to death so I made it clear why I feel the way I do.  What is your name and what is your relation to NYU? 

And by the way, hey John Sexton, any closer to giving us community outreach resource centers in all the mega dorms that used the term community facility to supersize yet exclude the community?  Anytime your friends do their little hatchet job it just gets me more supporters so thank you!!!!! 

http://nymag.com/realestate/realestatecolumn/48505/

NYU is the Evil Empire of the East Village having mega dormed the East Village to death. It is my opinion they have jeopardized the safety of the community surrounding the St. Ann's world record setting tear down mega build at 120 East 12th Street and the USPS used their federal status to say hey, we don't need to notify the State of New York which they did so the State could determine if selling the air space over St. Ann's was in the best interest in the community and examine environmental concerns. Yesterday at the Union Square Subway, a scorching sunny day the rusted ceiling in the subway had water pouring down from the ceiling. We have had medium size infrastructure breaks in the East Village and West (I was filmed on NY1 by one of them) and the safety of the community, city wide is not being place before this tsunami of community crushing development. NYU is the no 1 real estate magnate in NYC and gets to use their not for profit status to hide behind as they greedily buy up as much of New York as possible. Regarding Alicia Hurley's statement about Washington Square Park, the most hideous architecture including the NYU student center and the Bobst library have destroyed the beauty and history of the park and therefore NYU should not get to exploit the historic Washington Square Arch as their logo since their tear down and supersize our historic community . I have asked Alicia Hurley for community outreach resource centers to help the our community including small businesses and to date there has been zero action because NYU is to focused on this greedy way to rapid expansion that proves they are the worst of neighbors and in no way partners in the community. The only thing John Sexon, the mayor and mega millionaire socialite city planner have not done is provide NYU trolleys and buses to move us all out to make room for NYU's unending need to expand.

By the way, just to give you another example of what bad partners NYU is with the community, NYU parks their trolleys and buses on Lafayette Street and Broadway as if they own the streets since they do own just about everything else.

Park your trolleys and buses on your private property. Encourage your college kids to use public transportation like our NYC high school kids do or create a free bike sharing program.

I asked for NYU to list small businesses on our phamphlets and in community outreach resource centers plus a 311 like number to call and make complaints or ask for help regarding community concerns.

NYU has done nothing to create this community resource centers and they should go in every facility that uses the term community facility to supersize and exclude the community.

Sarah Silverman and me

One day I want to have a chat with Sarah Silverman about the birds and the bees and although I not a comedian I constantly am doing my stand up routine about the birds and the bees, everyone in the East Village has heard me and I even post bits of it on my space and my blog...

I would really like to talk to her about the "birds and bees" and  "fans".

I also would love to talk to that comedian who's name alludes me that she starred in "Someone to eat cheese with".  I want to talk to him about the birds and bees too.
