Ok, I’ll start.
I’d love to see Edsall Avenue on the list, and the Along the Hudson Homeowners Association, which I believe Jackie Zanca has been working to document
The Historic District Council has opened up applications for their 2025 program.
Just for fun:
Which historic landmark sites or neighborhoods in our community would YOU choose?
What are our preservation priorities, in this Community?
Donald S. Harris actions were more than courageous example of political action, this case changed civil rights law and set constitutional precedent.
“In it’s opinion…the Court …found that the insurrection and unlawful assembly statutes were unconstitutional and void.”
“Insurrection Law in Georgia Voided”, NYT, November 2, 1963, declaring the 1871 sedition law unconstitutional.
The NYT Machine would not let me pdf this article.

But Paul’s plaque is missing. And until recently, when someone uncovered Ana’s, this carefully curated memorial seemed destined to be forgotten, like so many of our local landmarks and memorials.It sits just a few feet from the site of the former Berrian Farmstead, now a tool shed.
Perhaps it is time to advocate for the restoration of this Memorial within the Park, which although there was a “restoration” of the lower half of Henry Hudson Park five years ago (which cost almost 2 million dollars and took an entire year to complete), was not on the list.
Paul Cymerman said of his wife Ana: “There are plenty of other roses-red roses, pink roses, white roses.” But he always had his blue rose, he said.

The tree above with a pole missing its plaque is about 15 feet away from the Tulip Tree planted for Ana.
“The tree that they planted in Paul’s Park stands only a short distance from the tree planted last year in memory of Paul’s late wife. “As these trees grow and their branches join together overhead, they will stand by each other’s side, as the people they memorialize did in life,” said Commissioner Benepe.”
It was planted on September 15, 2004 on the day Pau’s Playground was memoralized to recognize the contributions of this local couple.
