Each apartment has a smoke alarm, two fire cans under the stove hood, multiple sprinklers and a fire-rated front door. Many people would not be able to use fire extinguishers so in buildings such as ours, having the automatic sprinklers in the apartments is safer. The public areas (hallways, stairways, etc.) have hard-wired smoke alarms, automatic lights, sprinklers, automatic fire doors, fire extinguishers and a sophisticated fire alarm system. We contract with Erlich Protection Systems, Fire Systems of Michigan and Fire Extinguisher Sales and Service for yearly equipment and system inspections. The City of Warren Fire Marshall visits yearly and makes sure that these inspections have taken place. Residents can feel secure because of the care put into the building’s fire safety plan.

A Movement on the Verge: The Spark of Stonewall The night of Saturday, June 28, 1969, the streets of Central Greenwich Village were crowded with angered gay men, lesbians, “flame queens”, and Trans*genders. 1 That was the second day of disorder of what would later be called the Stonewall Riots. Centering around Christopher Street’s bar for homosexuals, the Stonewall Inn, the riots began the night before on June 27 and lasted until July 2. These five days of rioting were the result of decades of disdain against the police force and the general population that had oppressed the gay inhabitants of New York City.

    Sale Raises Hopes for Reviving The Village Voice - The New York Times 10/18/15, 2:32 PM http://nyti.ms/1RN9OXH N.Y. / REGION Sale Raises Hopes for Reviving The Village Voice OCT. 16, 2015 Big City By GINIA BELLAFANTE Over the past century, ever since Dorothy Payne Whitney provided the financial backing to create The New Republic in 1914, some of the country’s most distinctive left-leaning journalism — intellectually ambitious, literary, highly opinionated — has been dependent on the generosity of the legacy class, heirs and heiresses who were often immune to the crude impositions placed by the hunger for profit. This has been true of subsequent (albeit not current) iterations of The New Republic, The Nation (owned in part by Katrina vanden Heuvel, the granddaughter of Jules Stein, a founder of MCA Inc.) and Harper’s, which exists today because of the support provided by John R. MacArthur, through his family’s foundation, for more than 30 years. Given these investments, it was welcome news to learn this week that Peter D. Barbey, a Pennsylvanian with an inherited fortune derived from clothing and textile businesses, had bought The Village Voice with the goal of returning the newspaper to its central position, long since vanished, in the city’s cultural firmament. When the purchase was announced, many New Yorkers may have found it a revelation to hear that The Voice still existed at all. Founded by Norman Mailer and others in 1955, the paper was, to Mr. Mailer’s mind, meant to stand as http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/18/nyregion/sale-raises-hopes-for-…am_unit&version=latest&contentPlacement=1&pgtype=collection&_r=0 Page 1 of 4 Sale Raises Hopes for Reviving The Village Voice - The New York Times 10/18/15, 2:32 PM an outrage rather than a success, to “give a little speed to that sexual and moral revolution which is yet to come upon us.” Mr.

    International Journal of Communication 8 (2014), Book Review 173–176 1932–8036/2014BKR0009 Devon Powers, Writing the Record: The Village Voice and the Birth of Rock Criticism, Amherst, MA: University of Massachusetts Press, 2013, 176 pp., $22.95 (paperback). Reviewed by Nadav Appel Bar-Ilan University When I first became interested in popular music studies as a graduate student and began reading the array of scholarly publications in the field, one of the things that struck me as strange was the almost complete lack of dialogue and engagement with the works of music critics. Even such insightful and influential works as British sociologist (and former critic) Simon Frith’s Performing Rites (1996) or American philosopher Theodore Gracyk’s Rhythm and Noise (1996), studies that are directly concerned with the way we evaluate popular music, draw their ideas mainly from the works of other sociologists, philosophers, and intellectuals. They pay only a modest amount of attention to the fact that there is a whole class of professionals whose field of expertise is the analysis and evaluation of popular music. The unspoken assumption behind the majority of scholarly works on popular music is that music critics are legitimate objects of study, that one can investigate their cultural roles as tastemakers and gatekeepers or interrogate their writings in order to identify dominant social trends of thinking about music. Yet, there is very little to learn from them as actual intellectual companions. Writing the Record, the debut monograph by media scholar Devin Powers, is partly an attempt to rectify this situation. Powers tells the story of the formation of rock criticism in the United States by focusing on the writings of the New York-based weekly The Village Voice's first two rock critics, Richard Goldstein and Robert Christgau.
