The group of former gang members originally called themselves "<a href="http://gvh.aphdigital.org/items/show/853" rel="nofollow">The Real Great Society</a>" in a nod to LBJ's Great Society, but then formed the acronym CHARAS using the initials of their names. (Obviously, there were six of them.)<br /><br />Yes, considering that this was built as a public school that was attended by <a href="http://thevillager.com/villager_164/editorial.html" rel="nofollow">Yip Harburg</a>—lyricist for <i>Somewhere Over the Rainbow</i>—among other luminaries—it's kind of a no-brainer to make it a public school again. I'd vote for a community center, however; when CHARAS was located in this school building, it provided rehearsal and studio space to local artists, and when the auditorium in the basement was renovated, it also provided performance space. <br /><br />The pool in the basement of the Christodora House remains closed and unused specifically because of a provision that states it must be available to the community—which included the boys and girls of P.S. 64, when it was open. (The Christodora House—which was a settlement house then owned by the Department of Welfare—and P.S. 64 were connected by the pool.)Scuba Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10326884503725331349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-46492191908578455902015-12-31T19:47:10.921-05:002015-12-31T19:47:10.921-05:00Needed a nice picture of RATS SCURRYING with this ...Needed a nice picture of RATS SCURRYING with this post.DrBOPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07179469265158025584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-48642693603697294402015-12-31T15:39:26.376-05:002015-12-31T15:39:26.376-05:00@Michael Ivan: However "romantic" it ma...@Michael Ivan: However "romantic" it may seem, I don't think the Joffrey Ballet School actually needs dormitory space.

Singer was given a sweet deal that included some form of financing from the city, which is unheard of in auctions of city-owned properties.<br /><br />The city can RESCIND that tainted sale and restore the building to its intended use as a school and community center. <br />If necessary, the city can use its power of eminent domain, as it did when it took a row of privately-owned buildings along Eighth Avenue and GAVE the parcel to the NY Times to build its new headquarters.....chris flashnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-36534220228805091742015-12-31T13:21:14.677-05:002015-12-31T13:21:14.677-05:00It was gutted a few years back so any use, school ...It was gutted a few years back so any use, school etc ... , would require extensive construction.
