A few times every year we come across a truck that hasn’t paid heed of the height warnings on the Metro North (Park Avenue) elevated line. Occasionally fragments of sharp aluminum litter the underside of the tracks – the only evidence of what happened:

Often these shards look like remnants of a giant can that has been opened, which is actually pretty close to what occurs.

And, when the trucks back out from being jammed under the Metro North tracks, they then can often get trapped in the tight turn to head north on Park Ave.

Save a Church!

As you likely know, HNBA advocated to save the old original brownstone Metropolitan Church at 126/Madison. There is currently another fight to preserve a different church on Edgecombe Avenue that is under immediate threat.

If you would like to send a letter to Landmarks to preserve this building by including it in a landmarked district, please fill out this form:  http://bit.ly/landmarkmtcalvary
