Tribeca Kickoff: Apparently There Are Movies in Lower Manhattan

Thanks for the story. Horace Greeley, whose bronze statue is in New York City's City Hall Park (a small monument of Joseph Pulitzer nearby, and beneath them the remains of the cemetery from the "First Almshouse") whose sort of known for "Go west young man and grow up with the country" (most know it after some erstwhile editing) who lived where the Clinton's do, in Chappaqua, NY, and who lost a Presidential nomination to Abraham Lincoln, would have liked your story, IMHO. He, originally from New Hampshire (where another "Watergate" like scandal happened and is brewing, "phonegate"?) would have liked to hear about the "moving pictures" that entertain instead of P.T. Barnum's NY sideshow. There's just so much "newspaper row" once nearby his statue, can convey in print without the client's complaining. Once upon a time, Joseph Kennedy and family lived in Riverdale in the Bronx, and were going to invest in the motion picture business here until the Stock Market Crash and they, and a young JFK, moved away, according to the local newspaper there.
