  • Year in Review 2020 – 2021
    YEAR IN REVIEW 2020 – 2021 THE GARMENT DISTRICT ALLIANCE 1 WELCOME BACK Like most of Midtown, the Garment District faced new challenges this past year. Pedestrian counts were well below normal, as office tenants predominantly worked from home and ground floor businesses remained closed or limited their hours. Reduced activity impacted public safety and affected the ways in which we typically measure success. However, the Garment District Alliance was never more important to the neighborhood than it was this year. Despite the pandemic, our office never closed, as our dedicated staff continued to provide critical public safety and sanitation services. We worked closely with the West Midtown community, our neighboring BIDs, and the City of New York to tackle quality of life issues. We supported our local companies through social media promotions and business development initiatives, and we pushed forward with important streetscape, horticulture, and public art projects. In short, we kept the Garment District ready for business, while laying the groundwork for the years ahead. Today, we are happy to report that a slow but steady stream of employees is returning to the neighborhood. We are thankful for all the resilient companies of the Garment District, several of whom we celebrate in the pages of this report. Whether they have returned to the neighborhood or can’t wait to come back, our diverse businesses community is what will continue to make the Garment District a vibrant part of Midtown. Recovery has begun. We look forward to everyone getting back to business. Barbara A. Blair Martin Meyer President Chair 2 NEIGHBORHOOD PROMOTION 3 Doggy Bags A series of gigantic, playful dog companions took center stage on Broadway from September to Thanksgiving.

He was known by the name of Juan de Fuca, and the name was subsequently given to a portion of the waters he discovered. As far as known he made no official report of his discoveries, but he told navi­ gators, and from these men has descended to us the knowledge thereof. Richard Hakluyt, in 1600, gave some account of Fuca and his voyages and discoveries. Michael Locke, in 1625, pub­ lished the following statement in England. "I met in Venice in 1596 an old Greek mariner called Juan de Fuca, but whose real name was Apostolus Valerianus, who detailed that in 1592 he sailed in a small caravel from Mexico in the service of Spain along the coast of Mexico and California, until he came to the latitude of 47 degrees, and there finding the land trended north and northeast, and also east and south east, with a broad inlet of seas between 47 and 48 degrees of latitude, he entered therein, sailing more than twenty days, and at the entrance of said strait there is on the northwest coast thereto a great headland or island, with an exceeding high pinacle or spiral rock, like a pillar thereon." Fuca also reported find­ ing various inlets and divers islands; describes the natives as dressed in skins, and as being so hostile that he was glad to get away.

  • It's 1950 ... Meet the Neighbors
    IT'S 1950 ... MEET THE NEIGHBORS 2) MARGARET MCKENNY (April 17, 1885 Olympia - Aug 4, 1969 Olympia) In the middle of the 20th Century, a visionary scientist named Rachel Carson brought to our attention, the need to respect and protect the natural world. Some would say that Olympia's version of Rachel Carson was Margaret McKenny. Margaret grew up in Olympia, and was the daughter of Civil War hero General T.I. McKenny. Like her father, Margaret was not afraid to accept leadership, despite controversy and opposition. However Margaret's battles were fought in meeting halls and courts, and revolved around conservation. In the summer of 1 9 5 5, Margaret helped organize a group called Citizens For The Future. Their mission was to stop the proposed logging of Watershed Park, and portions of Priest Point Park, and to prevent Sylvester Park from being torn up for underground parking. After a ten month struggle, which ended in the state Supreme Court, the projects were halted. Thanks to Margaret and her group, the majestic Douglas Firs still tower over our city parks, and the historic ground below Olympia's town square remains as it was when the city's founder staked it out. As far back as 194 7, when the word "ecology" was seldom spoken, Margaret lobbied to protect the Nisqually Delta. The unspoiled estuary was slated to become an industrial port, and Seattle was hoping to use part of the land as a garbage dump. Margaret organized the Washington Citizen's Committee For Outdoor Recreation for the purpose of protecting the delta.
