Yesterday, the NY Times ran a profile / Q & A with architect Stephen Martin who is working on the FDR Four Freedoms Memorial now under construction at Roosevelt island's SouthPoint Park and how he came to that project. The story was filed under their "Entry Level" series.
Who would ever think that our trash, Roosevelt Island trash would be featured in an article in the Wall Street Journal. But there it is. Granted our trash is moved underground within an automated vacuum system (yes the AVAC) that is cooler than seeing it pile up on the sidewalk.
If you have not stopped over to RIVAA to check out their Fast Trash exhibit plesae do before it closes as it is worth checking out. Dick Lutz just ran a great article about it in last week's Main Street WIRE.
All comments are now moderated and due to the nature that this blog is INACTIVE comments left will only be periodically reviewed and approved if at all.
Where previous comments were essentially unmoderated I have grown tired at seeing the same old comments posted by a few individuals unhappy about the state of various affairs on this island. My suggestion is find a constructive and new outlet for your grievances. Better yet get involved and change things if you desire change. If you are looking for time to stand still ...deal with it as it's not happening.
