Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge

The Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge is located on the south shore of Long Island and is one of the undeveloped estuary systems on Long Island. In 1947, Maurice Wertheim donated 2,000 acres (8.1 km2) on eastern Long Island to the United States government; the donated land subsequently became the Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge's purpose is to protect the Carmans River Estuary for migratory birds. Wertheim hosts a variety of habitats including oak-pine woodlands, grasslands, and fresh, brackish and salt water wetlands. These habitats attract and support many types of wildlife including white-tailed deer, osprey, muskrat, fox, turtles, frogs and fish. The refuge also serves as a haven for waterfowl, shorebirds, raptors, and songbirds. In 2012 the Long Island National Wildlife Refuge Complex opened a new visitor center and headquarters facility in the Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge. The building includes an interactive exhibit hall, environmental education classroom and administrative offices. Population The refuge's wildlife populations are mainly diverse. There are about 300 species of birds at the refuge. The refuge winters up to 5,000 waterfowl, most of them being black ducks - a species that is declining. The coastal location also makes this refuge an excellent migration place for shorebirds, raptors and songbirds.

West Fourth Street Courts

The West Fourth Street Courts, also known as "the Cage", are a notable public athletic venue for amateur basketball in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. "the Cage" has become one of the most important tournament sites for the citywide "Streetball" amateur basketball tournament, and is noted for its non-regulation size. Due to its small size, there is a greater emphasis on physical play, commonly referred to as "banging inside." The sidelines are often overlooked during gameplay. Given the high number of players participating, competition for playing time is intense, and those who lose typically do not get a second chance to play. The courts are located over the New York City Subway's West Fourth Street–Washington Square station (A​, B​, C​, D​, E​, F, <F>​, and M trains), an entrance to which is adjacent to the courts. The West 4th Street League, founded by a limousine driver named Kenny Graham, has carved its own place in asphalt history. Among the notables who have filled the Cage are Dr. J, Walter Berry, and Jayson Williams. Anthony Mason's Prime Time squad won five titles in the early 1990s. West 4th Street officials estimate that their league attracts more than 100,000 spectators each summer, numbers that Rucker Park rivaled only in its heyday during the late 1960s and early 1970s. West 4th's talent is big, but the court's too small to contain all the flying elbows. To some tourists, this may look like a steel-cage wrestling match. "If you don't like a physical brand of basketball, stay away from West 4th." Media Numerous national commercials have been shot at the Cage. Former NBA players Anthony Mason and Smush Parker are some of the nationally recognized players to learn their tough style of play from the Cage. The court is depicted in NBA Street V3 and is a playable court in the game. References External links Profile in Washington Square News: [1] Profile in The Village Voice: [2]

Westchester County Center

The Westchester County Center is a 5,000-seat multi-purpose arena in White Plains, New York. It hosts various local concerts and sporting events for the area. The County Center was conceived by the Westchester Recreation Commission in 1924 as a multi-purpose indoor recreational facility to host community programs and income-producing commercial events. It was designed by the architectural firm of Walker & Gillette, and built and decorated in the Art Deco style. The construction project cost approximately $785,000; a $16-million rehabilitation was completed in 1988. Notable events Grand opening was held May 22, 1930 features pianist Percy Grainger, Metropolitan Opera Company tenor Edward Johnson, organist Palmer Christian First Westchester Music Festival is held in July, 1930 in the newly opened center Governor Herbert H. Lehman winds up his campaign with an address at a rally of the American Labor party in 1936 Joe Baksi, future heavyweight contender, beat future movie actor Jack Palance (who fought under the name of Jack Brazzo) on December 17, 1940. The boxrec database lists nearly 500 cards held at Westchester over the years dating back to 1934, with televised Tuesday night bouts a staple in the early 1950s. At the start of his first world tour, Bob Dylan performed in concert on February 5, 1966. The Who played a show including their rock opera Tommy on November 3, 1969. The New York Guard, a team in the short-lived All-American Basketball Alliance, played here in 1978. The Westchester Golden Apples, a charter franchise of the minor league, summertime United States Basketball League, played at the County Center in 1985. A second USBL team, the Westchester Kings, played at the Center in 1997. The New York Liberties volleyball team used the center as their home venue in 1988. Since the fall of 2014, it has been the home of the Westchester Knicks, the New York Knicks' farm team in the NBA G League. However, due to its use to treat patients during the COVID-19 Pandemic since 2020, the Knicks temporarily relocated to Total Mortgage Arena in Bridgeport, Connecticut for home games in 2021 before returning to White Plains in 2023. In 2018, it became the primary home of the New York Liberty of the Women's National Basketball Association. The Liberty were purchased in 2019 by the owner of the Brooklyn Nets and moved to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn in 2020. In 2019, the arena was the home venue for the expansion New York Streets of the National Arena League. As the arena was too small to fit a regulation indoor football field of 50 yards plus end zones, the team played on a field that was marked as 50-yard field but was actually about 38 yards. The Streets folded after one season. During March 2020, it was announced that the Westchester County Center would be used to hold COVID-19 patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Impact Wrestling held the 2023 edition of Victory Road and the tapings of the 1000th episode of Impact at the center in September 2023. References External links Official website
