Stonewall Inn Was Made Landmark In 2015  We got this E-Mail from Corey Johnson's office. It is about more landmarks for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender. We think this is a great idea to save our historic sites before they get torn down.   Dear Friends: As a preservationist, I have always believed that the cultural significance of a building is as important as its architectural significance. To that end, since I was elected to the City Council, one of my top priorities has been to help achieve individual landmark status for sites of significance to the LGBTQ movement. I’m happy to report that yesterday the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission began the formal process of granting individual landmark status to six sites of significance to LGBTQ history! They are the LGBT Community Center at 208 West 13th Street, the Gay Activists Alliance Firehouse at 99 Wooster Street, James Baldwin’s residence at 137 West 71st Street, Caffe Cino at ...

In 1974, he made his debut with a walk on in Mame with The Theatre of The Republic, his hometown theatre. The Fairy Godmother of TOR, Miss Florence Epps took "Ricky" under her wings and within a few years he was playing larger roles. Ricky also made up his mind on August 5th of 1974 that he was going to go to New York five years from that day to be in show business! AND he did! On August 5th, 1979, at the age of 18 and right out of high school, he flew one way to New York with $500.00 in his pocket...although he never had flown before, really didn't know anyone in NY, and had never really been outside of Conway! That was 40 years ago! Ricky/Richard will be returning to St. Luke’s for one night only to share the hilarious and sometimes poignant adventures of those first years of struggle and how he came to be known throughout New York's ...

James Edstrom On NBC About Macy's Fireworks Abuse GOOD RIDDANCE !   We are jumping for joy here in Hunters Point South now that Macy's will not be here this year. Every year they come into our neighborhood and abuse us. They lock us up like animals, they take away our freedom while they celebrate freedom. They ignore residents e mails asking for some kind of kindness from this corporate monster. They fight with us about everything and take everything and leave us with a empty holiday. We go on TV to complain, they do nothing but pass the buck around and every year we end up locked up like caged animals in our building. They blame Homeland Security, Homeland security blames Macy's and every year it is the same, locked up like caged animals. Our pets are terrified with all the fireworks blowing up, our air is polluted and they leave a mess that we have to deal with. Macy's entertains their employees, their best customers, their buyers and we are left footing th...
