You pigs bought a gorgeous building and turned it into a cheap-looking, piece of crap. Stick to committing Medicaid fraud and go live in Mill Basin.

I AM A PROUD MEMBER AND ACTIVE ORGANIZER IN OHR NATAN, AND COULDN'T HELP BUT LAUGH (HEY, BETTER THAN CRY!) AT THIS ARTICLE. YOU GUYS REALLY HAVE TO GET OVER YOUR ENVY OF US BUKHARIANS COMING TO AMERICA AND ACHIEVING IN A SHORE PERIOD OF TIME SO MUCH MORE THAN YOU GUYS DID IN A FEW GENERATIONS. ONCE YOU ARE OVER THESE FEELINGS (OR AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THEM!) WE COULD START A DIALOGUE/DISCUSSION OF WHAT WOULD REALLY BOTHER YOU ABOUT A BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY CENTER SERVING THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY, RATHER THAN A DILAPIDATED, RAT-INFESTED FAMOUS "TRYLON THEATER", THAT STOOD FOR YEARS VACANT AND EYESORE. UNTIL THEN... EAT YOUR HEARTS OUT :) :) I DON’T THINK I’VE EVER READ A MORE DUMB POST IN MY LIFE (AND TRUST ME I’VE READ SOME STUPID ONES!)

Basically I agree that it is a travesty what has been done to the Trylon theater. I'm not surprised that the landmarks commission did nothing to preserve the site. That of course is the main point. The new owners could have been Mongolians and the result would have been the same. What I think is the real problem in this city is the lack of polical will in fighting the wholesale destruction of neighborhoods throughout the city. It starts at the top with Bloomberg and right down to the bottom, in this case Melinda Katz. Steve, I think that this particular piece could have used some editing.

I didn't get hit, the rabbis liked me, I did well academically for the most part, I had some good friends. I too have encountered the people who had a bad experience as a kid and have thus turned against the religion they were raised with--Catholics seem particularly susceptible to this, I've noticed--and honestly, I don't think that's a very good reason to reject something. If God said you can only gain eternal salvation by doing so and so, then that's what an omipotent deity decreed no matter what some nun did to you when you were 11. KGResident is more on the money, though I wouldn't quite have put it like that. It's just that sometimes you have to put aside what you've been told, look at what you believe and ask yourself, "Why do I believe this?" It's a long and insightful process, and you get some interesting and unexpected answers. You don't have to motivated by anything except the desire to know the truth--or, more accurately, seek the truth; I firmly believe you can never <em>know</em> it--and live your life the way you determine it has to be lived. I'm certainly not going to go into what I believe today, but I can definitely tell you that I got here by starting from scratch, examining what various people have to say, and thinking not about which belief system is most personally appealing to me for whatever reason--that's the mistake most people make, I think--but which is most likely to be true. I actually don't live far from you, KGResident. I'm definitively on the Kew Gardens side of Forest Hills, and Lefferts is only a 10- to 15-minute walk away. I should really spend more time around there; I think it's an incredibly charming area. I love that theater. It makes me feel good about the neighborhood that it's so close. Dudely, I considered taking this whole Jews/Christians/Muslims thing further, but I'm not going to and will instead wish you a happy 2008 right back. New Year's--now there's a holiday everyone can enjoy. Except Jehovah's Witnesses, probably. Actually, Bobby, you’ve got the wrong idea–my yeshiva experience was nothing but positive.

In fact I am all for community centers. However I do believe that development only has a right to occur when there is unused or underutilized land and this has been the case.
