    Don’t let @NYCMayor + @NYCHousing pull a fast one! Planned 388 Hudson St development’s affordable housing would be temporary, and would tower far above everything around it. We deserve better — PERMANENT affordable housing only, respectful scale + height: villagepreservation.org/campaign-updat…

    Today we remember the #TriangleShirtwaistFactoryFire, which killed 146 people OTD in 1911 in a now-landmarked bldg at 23-29 Wash Place. Recall the mostly young immigrant women victims, and the work done to change laws and prevent similar tragedies: gvshp.org/blog/2013/03/2…
