The Clyde Fitch Report Takes on Forces of Evil
A new post on The Clyde Fitch Report takes direct aim at the evil forces of politics who continue to cook up petty witchy ways to obstruct the lawful and inevitable landmarking of historic Marx Brothers Place in Carnegie Hill, NYC.
CFR editor Leonard Jacobs' message to these dirty politicians is loud & clear: Get your hands out of your pockets, your thumbs out of your ears and get the heck out of the way of history!

The 93rd Street Beautification Association Asks CB8 to Vacate Tainted July 21 Vote on Marx Brothers Place
On July 19, 2010, Community Board 8 Landmarks Committee Co-Chair Jane Parshall announced that she had to recuse herself from any involvement in voting on historic Marx Brothers Place because she has a conflict of interest which ethically precludes her from being able to participate in the matter.
With Parshall out of the mix, the Landmarks Committee voted overwhelmingly in favor of supporting the 93rd Street Beautification Association's Request to landmark the historic block. The 7-0 vote (with Parshall's 1 abstention) was a huge boost to finally moving the preservation campaign forward in trying to get it calendared for a public hearing before the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission.
The next step was supposed to be a Full CB8 Board vote scheduled for July 21, 2010. But before the matter ever had a chance to see the light of day, CB8's Landmarks Committee Co-Chair Jane Parshall - ignoring her own admitted conflict of interest - inappropriately inserted herself into the matter and prejudiced the Full Board vote.
As justice demands that the invalid July 21, 2010 CB8 vote be vacated, the 93rd Street Beautification Association has asked CB8 to immediately set aside the 7/21/10 vote - tainted by Parshall's inappropriate actions - and restore the Association's Request to the CB8 calendar as soon as possible.

NYC CB8's Landmarks Committee Votes 7-0 to Support 93rd Street Beautification Association's Request to Landmark Marx Brothers Place in Carnegie Hill
On July 19, 2010, New York City Community Board 8's (CB8) Landmarks Committee voted 7-0 (with one abstention) to support the 93rd Street Beautification Association's Request for Evaluation (RFE) asking the city to extend the Carnegie Hill Historic District (CHHD) one block east so as to include the incomparable collection of historic structures on East 93rd Street between Lexington and Third Avenues.
As these elegant antiques - evoking the city's architectural and cultural history - remain vulnerable to demolition on a daily basis, the overwhelming support registered by the CB8 Landmarks Committee vote brought a huge sigh of relief to the block; its fans and residents.
Historic East 93rd Street is popularly known as Marx Brothers Place - a name coined by famed preservationist Tony Wood - because the block includes the beloved childhood home of the Marx Brothers in addition to brownstones older than any that are already in the CHHD while boasting a steeped-down roofscape unique to the steep topography of this little stretch of the Carnegie Hill.
