*Don’t let them tear this down.*
Write to Jimmy Van Bramer at [email protected] –> he responds to
these, and his people read them, and they put in traffic lights and so
forth. Tell them this building needs to stay.

LICNYC heard about this from an LIC historian:
//Now here is something – the Demo Permit is already issued but we will
make a last minute stand – will sit down with authorities and try to get a
landmark…
//Amol, any community needs a mix of old and new. We have given a great
deal of thought in what we do in what makes a successful neighborhood and
what is a failure. Unfortunately, by tearing down buildings like this they
are making every mistake in the book in creating LIC. Choices that will
come back to haunt them when your kids will be adults.
//Communities need a place like this – it would make a fabulous meeting
space, performance and arts space, as well as a tourist destination, and
yes, why not a good place to learn about a community with a historical
society (in a way that a library branch could never hope to achieve.
//It’s on 44th Drive between 11th and 21st Street.
