When the school year begins on September 9th, Sunset Parkers will be cheering. Why? Because after more than three decades, they’ll finally have a high school to call their own. As the Daily News pointed out in an article last February, discussions about the school began four decades ago but were derailed by fiscal problems of the 1970s. Construction on the 1,500-seat school, which will be focused on three tracks–performing and visual arts; health and human services, and business and entrepreneurship–finally began in 2006. GMAP

Hmmm – could we talk about the building for a minute? Maybe it’s the picture (I haven’t seen the actual building) – but it doesn’t look so great to me – more like another boring box and more street wall. Was it an SCA building or did somebody else do it?
you people are mean

“That’s right ENY. Rob is a classic example of white privilege in action.”
