- No Recommendations yet - go add some!
- Ju JuStar: Who should determine what gets built within any area? How far away would make you more comfortable?
- Frank: The Imam has been in the area since the 80's. They have already had a strong presence there. This proposal was not started as a statement in relationship to Ground Zero.
This was the most ideal piece of property for their initiative and if they move, they will be saying that they agree with the ignorant assertion that they are the same as Al Queda.

change the record.

I am a fitness instructor and I want in on this place. It sounds wonderful.

I worked for the Census, and as a 10 year resident living in NYC, thinking I really was a New Yorker now, I discovered I knew nothing about my neighborhood (Bay Ridge), and really spent the Summer coming to feel as sense of belonging to this city, and feeling that 'getting counted' this time meant more than 2000.
