It’s a beautiful church. My sister was on ‘a church thing’ for a bit, and we went every Sunday for quite awhile. I just like the music. I also love the magnolia in the yard on the left.
“Don’t hate the cool kids, East New York.”
Yeah, you guys are cool. Arguing back and forth over a computer all day. That’s very cool. No really, it is.
Yes, Cobble, the one on 11th.
Everytime I walk by and it’s open, I go in.
But, I do that with alot of churches.
And I’m not religious….for me it’s about the architecture.
BRG, My grandparents were married at Grace Church (you mean the on Broadway @ 11th, vs. B. Heights, no?)
re-write:
Not as uncalled for as other things that have been said!
Yes, it was!
BRG…your 2:33 post was uncalled for!
Benson,
You ATTACKED ME in the church thread. YOU ATTACK me in this thread. I respond to your posts. I took some time and addressed all the issues you brought up. “Truthfully, I’m a little baffled and slighted by your response. You didn’t acknowledge anything I said. You dismissed it, you dismissed meâ€
“What is there to respond to?â€
– There’s plenty to respond to.
“The rantings of a person who fluctuates between two modes: a) silly, juvenile e-mails back and forth on trivial matters andâ€
– Please re-read your posts for rantings! Rantings of lawsuits, Rantings of accusations, Rantings.
“b) emotion-laden rants and accusations on issues of concern to her.â€
I hardly believe, I’m the only one concerned with preservation. Shall I give you the names of the heads of every organization in NYC.
“I once again challenge those in the “amen” corner: did you actually see this church in its settings on 4th Ave, prior to it being torn down? Bif? Dibs? Bob Marvin? Montrose?â€
Challenge ME!!!
You want to talk about churches and the context they’re in. Let’s do a case study of a few in NYC
Trinity Church – dwarfed by high rise office towers.
St. Barts – look at all the office buildings around this one too.
St. John’s – What is that went up next door?…a building!!
Grace Church – Have you seen the white schlock across the street…Woof.
Btw – this is one of my favorite churches in NYC. You should visit it, but don’t look at the surroundings!! I love knowing that Edith Wharton got married here (even though it was a loveless marriage) – oh, such a silly trivial matter, I bring up)
You want to start something with your tirade against me, have the decency to respond to me and respond properly. Please, don’t insult me and my intelligence with your half-baked reply.
Or would you rather my posts directed to you reference only chocolate and toys…would that make you feel better, feel superior?
“What is there to respond to? The rantings of a person who fluctuates between two modes: a) silly, juvenile e-mails back and forth on trivial matters and b) emotion-laden rants and accusations on issues of concern to her.”
Hey, she’s multi-demensional!
“Not LIKE an insular HS clique, but worse – posters who are (presumably) long out of HS behaving in a HS manner while simplistically denigrating those deemed beneath them, including ACTUAL high-schoolers.”
Don’t hate the cool kids, East New York.
