Yesterday LPC head Robert Tierney, Council Member Al Vann and about two dozen people celebrated the designation of the Alice and Agate Courts Historic Districts with a ceremony to unveil two new street signs and an announcement that five residents had won LPC grants totaling $84,000 to help restore their historic, 19th century homes. The grants, which come from the Commission’s Historic Preservation Grant Program and range from $12,000 to $20,000 apiece, are going to be used to repaint, repoint and repair the facades of five homes on both of those streets. Alice and Agate Courts are the 21st historic district designated under Tierney, 12 of which have been outside of Manhattan. Guess how many have been in Brooklyn? Seven. Top notch!

Oh please, Benson, what are you? Five? I said you’ve BECOME a wet blanket, and bxgrl called you a sourpuss.
Oh, I just called you “five”. Please feel free to get all worked up over that, too.
I have better things to do today, enjoy the rest of your trip.
“bumblef*ck brooklyn” Oh- I get it. a poor Black neighborhood. Not as important as the UES. Right-
And if your reading comprehension was as high as your stupidity quotient you would have understood what I meant was a reference to how I want my tax money spent- in MY borough, in LOCAL neighborhoods. Not in a rich Manhattan neighborhood that is already overstuffed with goods and services paid for with my taxes.
benson- I don’t think “sour puss” compares to the “f*ck you’s” you threw around all yesterday at everyone.
oh, and rob_ I wasn’t the one who said “rob’s ignorant comments”
no, read above. you made the moronic statement of the year claiming that some stoops in bumblef*ck brooklyn were more important than an entire subway line. what exactly do i need to research!?
*rob*
Rob, I like you, as well as Benson, so I’m going to spare you a drubbing down the likes of which you have never had since being on this site. Mostly because it will make me seem to be the mean spirited, self righteous, arrogant sod some people think I am, but mostly I’m not going to do it because too many people will enjoy it too much, and I don’t have the time.
Suffice it to say, however, that despite your comments to the contrary, where you insist that your are quite “ghetto” yourself, you are getting pretty out of hand with some of your flip remarks about people, places and events that happen in those so-called ghettos. Keeping neighborhoods “like 1899” is much of what makes YOUR neighborhood desireable.
“Preserving stoops in some ghetto neighborhood.” is part and parcel of what I do, and who I am. Don’t you dare belittle it, most especially when you have absolutely NO CLUE as to what you are talking about.
Just because we disagree doesn’t mean you need to insult me. Your social skills need serious work.
And public transportation needs serious fixing all over hte city- not just in the UES. Learn how to research, rob. jeez.
“Benson, no one called anyone names on this thread. Where? ”
Montrose, allow me:
“Benson, please. You’ve become the wet blanket of sour grapes on this site. ”

“You’re a sour puss because you go off on people and scream f*ck you at them when they have done nothing to warrant it- except to your overwrought sensitivities. You owe snappy a serious apology (as well as others, including MM).”

Benson, no one called anyone names on this thread. Where? Whenever you find yourself in a position where your points can’t be backed up, you then proceed to take everything personally. An argument can only get ugly if it’s taken there. I simply asked you to clarify your points, since your first remarks were very different than your later remarks. If that is going to cause you to pack up your ball and leave the park, then fine.
Basta, finito.

Rob’s ignorant remarks.
are you serious? just because my opinion differs? im sorry but cleaning up an ugly old stoop and keeping a neighborhood look like it’s 1899 is not what i want my tax money to go to. calling my comment ignorant just makes YOU look ignorant.
i completely agree with benson.
im sorry but fixing the 2nd ave subway is 1000000000 x more important than preserving stoops in some ghetto neighborhood.
GRRR
