“Protesters against the planned demolition and r “Protesters against the planned demolition and reconstruction of a Lower Manhattan waterfront oasis are demanding a state authority halt plans to fortify Robert F. Wagner Jr. Park against rising seas. On Tuesday evening, several dozen local residents, educators, school children, elected officials, and community leaders descended on the landscaped green space to demand changes to the South Battery Park City Resiliency Project’s design — and a seat at the table.” Read more of the “Battle at Battery Park City over state plan to plow under waterfront green” article, which is linked in our bio.
“One of the most closely watched races in next w “One of the most closely watched races in next week’s primary election is also one of the most jam-packed, with 12 Democratic candidates vying for New York’s newly drawn 10th Congressional District, covering Lower Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn.

One sorting method is to examine how the candidates could use the coveted seat in Congress to improve life for New Yorkers who live in the district.” Read the rest of the “Three local issues NY-10’s next member of congress could actually influence” article, which is linked in our bio.
“When Stephen Nixon recently noticed a “beauti “When Stephen Nixon recently noticed a “beautiful” spotted lanternfly by his bag as he skateboarded in Brooklyn, he heeded the request of city officials. He stomped on it.” Read the rest of the “See it? Squish it! Fighting the invasive spotted lanternfly” article, which is linked in our bio.
