It is about 13 miles, as the seagull flies,
from the slushy center of the Fulton Fish Market on South Street
to the dry floor of its future home, the former produce market
in Hunt’s Point, the Bronx. But the distance might as well be
measured in light years.

| ‘Tribeca’
Goes Global as Name Brand |
|
|
|
When the Trib last looked, in 1998,
about a dozen products—ranging from blue jeans to bed linen
to a race horse and a font—were named for the Triangle
Below Canal Street. Today, “Tribeca” is being peddled
from Dallas to Dublin on poker tables, lipstick, furniture,
wool rugs, designer eyeglasses, wristwatches, jewelry, dishes,
flatware and more. Much more.

Further Sketch Out Memorial |
|
|
|
A trip through the World Trade
Center memorial will begin with a forest of oak trees that surround
a pair of open voids and a grassy expanse that can hold 10,000
people. It will end 70 feet below ground, at the sheared steel
tower footings and the massive concrete slurry wall. Designers
of the memorial unveiled their schematic plans last month for
“Reflecting Absence.”

| An
1893 Piano Is Music to School’s Ears |
|
|
|
Her shoulders gently
rising and falling to the music, Lisa Ecklund-Flores
finished off a Bach suite on the 111-year-old Steinway
grand. It had been two weeks since the piano arrived
at its new home, the Church Street School for Music
and Art, where Ecklund-Flores is the director. “It’s
just the perfect thing for this growing little school,”
she said. Perfect in all ways but one. The piano
cost $25,000–money the school didn’t have.

Noticed Building Is Coming Down |
|
|
 |
Tucked behind the damaged,
shrouded former Deutsche Bank building at 130 Liberty
St., a smaller building also awaits demolition. While
the planned deconstruction of the 40-story tower has undergone
months of intensive public scrutiny, Deutsche Bank’s other
building, at 4 Albany St., sits boarded up, contaminated
and barely noticed.

Corbin Building Tenants Bemoan Move
|
|
|
When the Metropolitan Transit
Authority announced in June their plans to incorporate
the Corbin building as a cornerstone of the new Fulton
Street Transit Center, it was seen as a boon to preservationists—a
welcome restoration of an endangered 115-year-old structure.
But some of the building tenants complain the move is
little more than a “land grab.”

89 Students Learn a Lesson in Giving |

Like millions of other children,
5-year-old Mathew Shiferaw could hardly wait to open his presents
on Christmas morning. But unlike most kids’ gifts, the presents
that Mathew unwrapped—a Big Wheel, a football and baseball glove—did
not come from anyone he knew. They came from the fifth graders
at P.S. 89.
