Pants up at the Glover Center

The campaign against baggy pants has been in the news of late... Meanwhile, a sign awaits visitors at the Andrew Glover Center on Avenue B between Seventh Street and Sixth Street....




Here's a little background on Andrew Glover. He was an NYPD officer gunned down during a routine check of a car double-parked on Fifth Street between Avenue A and Avenue B on Sept. 16, 1975. He was 34. Sgt. Frederick Reddy, 50, was also shot and killed. Time magazine has an outline of the manhunt for the killers.

Here's an excerpt from an Associated Press article on the shootings.
