The Sorrows of a Fading City: What’s Next for NYC’s Commercial Spaces?

As of several holiday seasons ago, I became a computer priestess, joining the enormous flock of users. The delights were endless, and the simplicity divine. I knocked off my entire children’s list of gifts by activating an Amazon account and linking it to my Citibank. It’s better than shopping for sales, and the process is made simple. Could I be contributing to the demise of retail establishments in NYC?

Stonefaced, an Architectural Anthology: A Conversation with Robert Arthur King

Over the years, and through my association with the film community, I’ve been invited to a variety of interesting events.

Crown Heights and the Resurgence of a Glorious Past

While not always having been a desirable neighborhood, Crown Heights’ checkered past with racial relations is now only a part of history. Today the neighborhood offers stability, charm and value, being a Manhattan alternative that is “10 times less noisy than Manhattan, and 10 times more spacious”

Shen Yun: A Magical and Seductive Experience in New York

We are all overdue for an instant fix, a panacea to the daily news we are forced to endure. The climate of this country has become morose with mediocrity replacing high expectations, hope and promise for ourselves, our children and our grandchildren.

With 41 new residential apartment buildings rising, between 2010 – 2017, the transformation has been staggering.

Staten Island, Not Only a “Bedroom Community”: the Forgotten Borough

Staten Island, as most NewYorkers would agree, is a breed apart from the other boroughs; with hopes by developers, of turning it into a version of Brooklyn! Part of its forgotten reputation lies in its lack of a cultural life. Mostly thought of as a bedroom community, it would not generally be considered, when deciding on an evening out
