Your remarks and lively debates are welcome, whether supportive or critical of the views herein. Your articulate, well-informed remarks that are relevant to an article are welcome.
However, commentary that is intended to "flame" or attack, that contains violence, racist comments and potential libel will not be published. Facts are helpful.
If you'd like to make personal attacks and libelous claims against people and businesses, then you may do so on your own social media accounts. Also, comments predicting when a new business will close ("I give it six weeks") will not be approved.
I recommend doing a search for Ave D in the NYPL digital archives. It turns up some amazing photos of WPA projects and shows a neighborhood of wooden houses, furniture factories, auto garages and old ship-building piers.
