The main question is will the new shop be able to survive the late Ed Gold’s curse — his wish that his former beloved “headquarters” remain empty for eternity, to spite the landlord for prohibitively raising Joe Jr.’s rent? Only time will tell.

The new vessel replaces the vintage Firefi ghter. It’s the twin of the fl eet’s other recent addition, the Three Forty Three, named for the number of fi refi ghters who died in the World Trade Center on 9/11. Among the fi reboats joining in the water-shooting salute was the retired John J. Harvey, which moors at the Hudson River Park’s Pier 66 in Chelsea — and which was a hero of 9/11. Afterward, the fl eet motored to outside Battery Park City’s North Cove marina, near the W.T.C., where there was a pause for a moment of silence.

EVAN FORSCH In 2003, the city pitched a SPURA proposal with a mix of housing, including 400 low- and middle-income units. That plan was scrapped due to vehement community opposition. In contrast, this current process has been community driven. The key will be getting the area’s local elected offi cials onboard, namely Councilmember Margaret Chin and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver. While many residents of the Grand St. co-ops, where Silver lives, have his- torically resisted SPURA’s development, opposing more affordable housing, the co-ops’ residential mix has been changing, getting younger, more diverse. There’s new sentiment for movement on these eyesore blocks. Now that a new, consensus plan is materializing, it’s incumbent on Chin and Silver to engage and support the process. If not, a golden opportunity will be lost; who knows what sort of plan for SPURA will be proposed in some future round, if any? It’s time for Chin and Silver to help shepherd this long-paralyzed project through to fruition. That would be a legacy to be proud of.

In our efforts to move forward in meeting the health needs of the community, we would like to correct some misconceptions that we have recently heard. First of all, the assessment is about guiding future healthcare planning efforts and its scope is being driven by a broad coalition of community stakeholders, not by any private parties or special interests. Additionally, North Shore-L.I.J. has already begun development of its urgent-care center and that center will move forward regardless of the community needs assessment already underway. We would also like to clarify that while the New York State Commission on Health Care Facilities in the 21st Century (the “Berger Commission”) did identify several hospitals and nursing homes as unnecessary and forced mergers and closings, it did not state in the affirma- tive that every other facility was needed. In a July 15, 2010, letter to Community Board 2, David Sandman, the executive director of the Berger Commission, stated, “The Commission made no specific recommendation or findings regarding St. Vincent’s Hospital Manhattan — Greenwich Village Campus.” While Section 2806 of the New York State Public Health Law does require the Health commissioner to Photo by Lincoln Anderson make certain findings before closing a hospital, that sec- Call it the ATM that never sleeps in the city that never sleeps.

Photos by The Anonymous Photographer In the empty underbelly of the beast, street art lurks The Underbelly Project, an illegal show of street art, curated by street artists PAC and Workhorse, fi lls the inside of an abandoned Brooklyn subway station. The project began in 2009. Artists, 103 in all, were escorted into the space individually to create their works. According to the project’s Web site, “Unobstructed by the pressures of commercial sales, e-mail or daily routines, each artist painted one full night.” (There’s defi nitely no e-mail, since four stories belowground in the century-old station, there’s no WiFi.) It’s one of the largest shows of such pieces ever mounted in one place. Many of the contributors are signifi cant fi gures in both the street-art world and the commercial trade that now revolves around it. Following the space’s opening to select viewers earlier this month, police have made at least 20 arrests of people sneaking in or out. It’s not that surprising — given that the old station is located underneath a police precinct. Police have said there are no plans to remove the artwork. 16 November 25 - December 1, 2010 November 25 - December 1, 2010 17 VILLAGERARTS&ENTERTAINMENT Pacino ‘very good’ — but ‘Merchant’ misses the point Tallmer ranks four Shylocks, wonders what Mostel would have done or?
