5 Ninth Avenue

Marc has often tended the wisteria vine by watering it and pruning weeds. We live close by.

Bruce Pecheur and Sierra Bandit were stabbed to death at 5 Ninth Avenue on on August 16, 1973. They were victims of a robbery. Sierra Bandit was a makeup artists and worked with me on Psychedelic Burlesque in 1968.

Gansevoort Peninsula

Gansevoort Peninsula — Hudson River Park was recently constructed and opened in 2023. Us the link to see more pictures. The salt marsh is not looking very healthy. I hope it survives.

Did you know: Manhattan once had a well-used Thirteenth Avenue? It ran from Bloomfield Street on what is now the Gansevoort Peninsula north to 23 Street. The area was later excavated to permit longer ships to dock without blocking the navigation channel. Today, only a one-block stretch of Thirteenth Avenue remains on the Gansevoort Peninsula. This block has been incorporated into the design for the Gansevoort Peninsula.”
