Long Island Motor Parkway

Der Long Island Motor Parkway (LIMP), auch bekannt als Vanderbilt Parkway, war eine ab 1908 errichtete private Straßenverbindung im Staate New York, die als Mautstraße dem Automobilverkehr vorbehalten war und auch als Teil einer Rennstrecke diente. Ihre kreuzungsfreie Bauweise macht sie zu einem Vorläufer der Autobahnen. Sie wurde 1938 vom Staat New York übernommen und stillgelegt. Geschichte Ursprünglicher Finanzier der Strecke war William Kissam Vanderbilt II, der Urenkel von Cornelius Vanderbilt, ein begeisterter Veranstalter von Autorennen. Nach einigen schweren Unfällen entschied sich Vanderbilt, eine nur für den Autoverkehr und seinen 1904 gegründeten Vanderbilt Cup geeignete Straße zu errichten und gründete eine entsprechende Gesellschaft. Der Long Island Motor Parkway, mit seiner Betonfahrbahn, seinen Brücken und Unterführungen, Leitschienen und seinen 14 Mautstationen nahm eine weltweite Pionierrolle ein. Die Mautstrecke sollte zunächst 70 mi (113 km) lang sein und von New York City bis Riverhead, reichen. Es wurden letztlich aber nur 45 mi (72 km) gebaut (von Queens in New York City bis Lake Ronkonkoma). Baubeginn war der Juni 1908, und ein erster Abschnitt wurde schon im Oktober 1908 eröffnet. Ab 1911 führte die Straße bis zum Ronkonkoma-See. Sechs der Mautstellen wurden vom bekannten Architekten John Russell Pope gestaltet. In den späten 1920er-Jahren galt der Parkway wegen seiner relativ schmalen Fahrbahnen und steilen Brücken bereits als überholt. Robert Moses, der New Yorker Stadt- und Verkehrsplaner setzte 1938 seine Übernahme und Schließung durch. Teile des Parkway in Queens existieren noch als Radweg von Cunningham Park bis Alley Pond Park. Rennveranstaltungen Die Rennen wurden auf einem 12,64 Meilen langen Rundkurs abgehalten, der in seinem südlichen Bereich Teile des Vanderbilt Parkway nutzte und im nördlichen Bereich die Teilnehmer über eine lange Gerade zu Start-Ziel zurück führte. Automobilrennen um den Vanderbilt Cup fanden 1908, 1909 und 1910 statt. Zusätzlich war der Vanderbilt Raceway 1909 und 1910 Veranstaltungsort von 4 Rennen zur AAA / USAC Champ Car Series. Ein erneuter schwerer Unfall mit vier toten Zuschauern beim Vanderbilt Cup 1910 führte aber schon 1910 zum Verbot von Straßenrennen im Staate New York.

Temple Beth-El (Hornell, New York)

Temple Beth-El is a former Orthodox Jewish synagogue located at 12 Church Street, Hornell, New York, in the United States. Built in 1946, it was founded as an Orthodox congregation and, in the 1960s, operated briefly as a Conservative congregation. In February 2016, the synagogue building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Architecture The building reflects the pattern of Jewish settlement seen in small towns across New York in the mid-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The building illustrates the economic, social, and cultural impact this ethnic and religious group made to the community. Previous to the synagogue, the congregation worshiped in local homes and later the Erlich Hebrew Center, a Jewish center established in a downtown commercial building (converted into studios for WLEA after the Jewish community moved out). After World War II, the center proved to be inadequate and the congregation pooled its resources. Renamed Temple Beth-El, the congregation was able to build its own house of worship near the center of the city where other religious houses of worship were prominently sited. Design and construction were guided by a building committee and the synagogue was dedicated in 1947. The only change made to the building since its dedication was a new roof and ceiling in the worship space in 1976. Prior to its closure, the presence of the synagogue reinforced the fact that the congregation was part of the Hornell community. History In 1950 the Rabbi was Harry Zwick, and congregation officers were: president Isadore Spitulnik, vice-president Louis Eisenberg MD, financial secretary Joseph Cropp, recording secretary Edward Schulimson, treasurer Hyman Jacobsen. Temple Beth-El was unable to support a full-time rabbi following Hornell's economic and demographic collapse after the closure of the Erie Railroad's repair shops, its main industry, in 1960. It operated briefly as a Conservative congregation. As of 2014, the synagogue was inactive. In 2010 it was a target for graffiti, a red pentagon and the initials FBG sprayed on the side. In July 2022, after allegedly distributing pamphlets bearing hate symbols at the front of Temple Beth-El Synagogue and other places of worship, three people were charged with 115 counts of aggravated harassment. Following a four-day trial, one of the three were convicted by a jury on ten counts of first-degree aggravated harassment and nine counts of fourth-degree criminal mischief as a hate crime. The other two people pleaded guilty to the charges. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Steuben County, New York References Further reading Landman, Robert S.

Class of 1951 Observatory

The Class of 1951 Observatory is located near the eastern edge of the town of Poughkeepsie, New York, on Vassar College's campus. The observatory was built in 1997 and sponsored by the Vassar class of 1951 who donated funds for its construction on the occasion of their forty-fifth reunion. The new observatory replaced the Maria Mitchell Observatory, the first building completed on the college's campus. Roth and Moore Architects designed the new building which consists of three distinct segments: a central connecting area with a half round roof oriented southward, and two domes (one east and one west) that house the telescopes. The observatory facility houses two main telescopes: one 20-inch reflector used primarily for public outreach, and a 32-inch reflector used for teaching and research. It also houses a five-inch solar telescope and an eight-inch refracting telescope. The 32-inch telescope is tied with the Austin-Fellows telescope of the Stull Observatory at Alfred University for being the 2nd-largest optical telescope in the state of New York, the largest being the 40-inch reflector at SUNY Oneonta College Observatory. On its exterior the observatory is covered in aluminum sheathing, making the structure less of a heat polluter than its predecessor whose masonry walls absorbed a lot of daytime solar heat. The building's interior is additionally well insulated to give off as little thermal pollution as possible. The Class of 1951 Observatory also houses classrooms and offices which are furnished with laminated wood arches. The observatory has been known to hold open houses for members of the public.

Ridge Hill Mall

Ridge Hill, formerly known as Westchester's Ridge Hill is a mixed-use lifestyle center located between Interstate 87 and the Sprain Brook Parkway in Yonkers, New York. With its grand opening in 2011, Ridge Hill features a variety of retail stores, restaurants, condominiums, and offices. It was developed by Forest City Ratner Companies, Forest City's New York subsidiary. The center was built on an 84-acre parcel of land purchased from the City of Yonkers. Forest City later sold its mall business to Queensland Investment Corporation. History The Yonkers Industrial Development Agency began planning the center in 2000 to develop a site and stimulate job growth. Prior to any development, the land was occupied by a sanitarium, hospital, church, and rehab center. After later granting a lease to Lockheed Martin, and when the lack of jobs continued, the lease was terminated by purchasing the remainder of the contract. The City of Yonkers began taking bids from developers, and Ridge Hill won the contract. Original tenants announced included Whole Foods Market and L.L.Bean. Saks Fifth Avenue also showed an interest in adding a location in Yonkers. In early 2007, the land was cleared to make way for Ridge Hill's construction. Construction formally broke ground on November 8, 2007, with an original projected completion date in 2009. However, in late 2009, Forest City stated that due to the economic recession, the anticipated completion would be pushed back until 2011. On November 18, 2010, it was announced that multiple stores would open at the mall, including Dick's Sporting Goods, Brio Tuscan Grille, and REI. On December 3, 2010, Lord & Taylor announced they open an 80,000 square feet (7,400 m2) anchor store. That same year, Saks Fifth Avenue stated that it would not add a location at Ridge Hill. On March 26, 2013, a new $12 million, 32,300 square feet (3,000 m2) Legoland Discovery Center was opened. It was the first Legoland in the Northeast and fifth in the country. On November 19, 2014, it was announced that eight stores would open, including Starbucks and The Container Store. On August 27, 2020, the Lord & Taylor anchor store's closure was announced. The entire company went out of business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. On May 6, 2022, it was announced that Ridge Hill had been acquired in a joint venture between Nuveen Real Estate, Taconic Partners, and North American Properties for $220 Million. The plan is to update the complex's appearance and attract other luxury and fitness retailers as well as dining and entertainment options.

Love Canal

Love Canal est une banlieue de la ville de Niagara Falls dans l'État de New York, aux États-Unis. Elle est rendue célèbre à la fin des années 1970 à la suite de la découverte de décharges toxiques passées sous silence par les industriels concernés. Le site comportait 22 000 tonnes de produits toxiques rejetés par la société Hooker Chemical Company (en), acquise plus tard par Occidental Petroleum. Le nom de « Love Canal » vient de l'entrepreneur local William Love, qui fit construire un canal au début des années 1890, projet qui ne fut pas mené à son terme, mais laissa un fossé de 1 000 m de long. Le terrain fut racheté en 1941 par la compagnie Hooker Chemical. Il a été utilisé pendant des dizaines d'années en tant que décharge pour l'enfouissement de déchets industriels banals mais aussi dangereux, dont 22 000 tonnes de produits toxiques. Cette décharge était à proximité de l'usine Hooker Chemical. Après sa fermeture en 1953, des lotissements et une école ont été construits. Les habitants ont constaté l'infiltration de produits chimiques dans le sous-sol, à la suite de plaintes d'odeurs et de rejets pollués. Les lixiviats de la décharge étaient en train de remonter à la surface de la nappe phréatique. Cette crise environnementale et sanitaire a conduit à l'évacuation de 950 familles. Le scandale a été révélé par un journal local en 1976, et le site a été évacué en 1978. Depuis Love Canal est devenue une zone interdite. La partie la plus polluée du site a été entourée de fils barbelés à 2,4 m de hauteur. En 2004, une annonce officielle a déclaré que les 28 hectares de site ont été réhabilités après plus de 20 ans d'études et travaux. La zone habitable de Love Canal est désormais nommée Black Creek Village. Malgré les déclarations affirmant que la zone n'était plus dangereuse, les nouveaux résidents de la zone de Love Canal se plaignent encore aujourd'hui de maladies liées aux produits toxiques enterrés. A la suite de ce scandale, la loi "Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) est votée en 1980. Elle établit des fonds destinés à l'assainissement des sites contaminés et oblige les parties responsables à payer le coût de la réhabilitation de ces derniers.

Love Canal

Love Canal este o suburbie a orașului Niagara Falls (statul New York). A intrat în atenția opiniei publice naționale și internaționale prin anii 1970 când a fost dezvăluit faptul că aici se aflau îngropate, din perioada anilor '40 și '50, cantitatea de 21.000 tone de deșeuri toxice, autorul fiind uzina chimică Hooker Chemical Company (numită ulterior Occidental Petroleum Corporation). Regiunea devine astfel locul celui mai grav accident chimic cu efecte asupra mediului înconjurător din istoria Statelor Unite. Aceste reziduuri fuseseră deversate într-un canal abandonat care ar fi urmat să facă legătura cu brațul estic al râului Niagara. În 1953, Hooker Chemical a acoperit canalul cu un strat de pământ de câțiva metri și apoi a vândut terenul comunității locale la un preț scăzut. De-a lungul timpului, deșeurile au început să iasă la suprafață în curțile și dependințele locuitorilor și s-a ajuns la un adevărat dezastru ecologic, motiv pentru care, în 1978, aceștia au fost evacuați. După evacuare, 1.300 de localnici au obținut o despăgubire în valoare de 20 milioane dolari din partea orașului și a companiei responsabile cu deversarea deșeurilor. Astfel, în august 1978, ziarul "New York Times" prezenta dezastrul ecologic care a evoluat în timp de trei decenii: multitudinea cazurilor de leucemie, copii născuți cu malformații, copaci uscați, contaminarea pânzei de apă freatică etc. Ca urmare a ecoului generat în presă, guvernul american decide înființarea unui fond național de mediu, numit Superfund, iar toate firmele și consumatorii de produse care poluează să plătească taxe, banii urmând a fi utilizați pentru finanțarea politicii de protejare a mediului.

287 Broadway

287 Broadway es un edificio histórico en la esquina de Broadway con Reade Street en el barrio de Tribeca del Lower Manhattan de Nueva York. Diseñado por John B. Snook en 1871 con hierro fundido en estilo italianizante y de Segundo Imperio, se completó en 1872 para la finca Stephen Storm. El hito, que "ilustra gráficamente la transformación del bajo Broadway en el siglo XIX de un bulevar residencial al centro comercial de la ciudad", se inclinaba aproximadamente 0,20 m en 2008.​ Historia El abogado William Alexander era dueño del sitio desde 1794, cuando contenía una vivienda y una cochera. La casa fue comprada por Elbert Anderson en 1816, quien la demolió dos años más tarde y construyó un edificio comercial en 1819. En 1821, Storm compró la propiedad. Junto con otros, construyó el Irving House Hotel en 1848-1849. En 1871, la propiedad de Storm contrató a Snook para diseñar un edificio comercial que se utilizaría como espacio bancario y de oficinas. La Union Pacific Railroad Company fue uno de los primeros inquilinos,​ al igual que Henry Bischoff & Company.​ La familia Gindi compró la propiedad en 1969. Ya inclinada 0.10 m, comenzó a conducir otros 0.10 m en 2007 durante trabajos de excavación en 57 Reade Street, lo que obligó al gobierno de la ciudad a desalojarla. En 2013, 287 Broadway fue comprada por 8 millones de dólares por la compañía United American Land de la familia Laboz, que afirmó la estabilidad estructural del edificio y comenzó una renovación para el espacio comercial de la planta baja y los lofts residenciales de alquiler en los pisos superiores.​ Después de años de cabildeo liderado por Margot Gayle y su grupo Friends of Cast-iron Architecture, 287 Broadway fue designado un hito el 29 de agosto de 1989.​ En la audiencia de designación se describió como uno de los pocos ejemplos sobrevivientes en la ciudad de Nueva York de un edificio de hierro fundido diseñado en estilos arquitectónicos mixtos de estilo italiano y del Segundo Imperio francés.​ Arquitectura El edificio de seis pisos tiene una mezcla de estilo arquitectónico italianizante y de Segundo Imperio francés. La fachada es de hierro fundido y las tejas de listones son originales del edificio, que también cuenta con techo abuhardillado, buhardillas, frontones segmentados, ventanas de arco de medio punto, ascensor Otis, así como columnas jónicas y corintias.​ El apuntalamiento de acero se agregó en 2008 contra la fachada sur, reemplazando los refuerzos de madera agregados en 2007 después de los trabajos de excavación en 57 Reade Street.​ En diciembre de 2020, se retiró el apuntalamiento / arriostramiento.
