They are now more interested in the real-estate business than the health-care business, IMO.<br /><br />This reminds me of the Vietnam-era phrase "We had to destroy the village in order to save it"; now it would be "We have to destroy the East Village in order to 'save' it". Translated: "We must ultra-gentrify the East Village to make it another playground for the rich, and it won't hurt that our bank accounts are stuffed with $$ either."<br /><br />I wonder if the "Beth Israel condos" (as I will ALWAYS think of them, no matter what frothy name they give the new development on Rutherford Park) will, like the condos where Bowlmor Lanes used to be, start at $6 million? (And I will always think of that building as the "Bowlmor condos".) Or will that be too affordable by the time it comes to market? Maybe "starting at $10 million for a 1 bedroom"? Time will tell, and those numbers are plausible, b/c it takes a lot of $$ to keep the authorities on your side.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-87613215832513486222016-08-19T20:36:36.557-04:002016-08-19T20:36:36.557-04:00This is the second or third hospital DeBlaz forgot...This is the second or third hospital DeBlaz forgot to do his Smack Down routine, which we all thought was so adorable back in the day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-53210079734722349202016-08-19T16:41:22.122-04:002016-08-19T16:41:22.122-04:00In the 50' there was a phrase "Urban rene...In the 50' there was a phrase "Urban renewal is Negro removal." In the new millennium it's broadened its definition to: the removal of the 99% by the 1%. How can you put up a billion dollar project on that plot of land and have sick people, ambulances, cops and sirens and multicultural workers and junkies and families and poor people in the area? You can't. So you hide them on 13th street and say that the reduced services are enough for sick people today. Catholic schools, churches and hospitals are the targets of big developers. You watch, not one of our local pols will say a word. One party rule has ruined this town. We should have an open primary. Half the garbage that gets passed by the city council wouldn't stand a chance. And maybe, just maybe a leader that works for the people, not the party orthodoxy will raise and give us , all of us a chance.cmarrtyynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-12083276265404569992016-08-19T13:25:24.435-04:002016-08-19T13:25:24.435-04:00I do not want to make everyone too cynical but one...I do not want to make everyone too cynical but one of the hospital board members is telling us that Mount Sinai had planned this closure when they bought the hospital.<br /> The new "hospital" with be a glorified urgent care...

I do remember when I first moved to the area, the sub-ground walkway around the perimeter of the building (in front) was home to stray kittens, and I used to lean over the rail and watch em run around (they seemed pretty happy and safe down there). It's a nice building. This makes me sad, but what doesn't these days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
