Washington Cemetery (Brooklyn)

Der Washington Cemetery ist ein historischer Friedhof im New Yorker Stadtteil Brooklyn. Schon bald nach seiner Eröffnung wurde er zum zentralen jüdischen Friedhof und ist heute der größte jüdische Friedhof in Brooklyn. Lage Der gesamte Friedhof besteht aus insgesamt fünf nummerierten Friedhöfen. Sie liegen alle um den Subway-Bahnhof Bay Parkway der Linie F nach Coney Island, die hier oberirdisch verläuft und einen Blick auf das ganze umfangreiche Friedhofsareal bietet. Alle fünf Friedhöfe haben eigene Toreingänge. Der älteste von ihnen, Friedhof Nr. 1, liegt östlich der McDonald Avenue und des U-Bahnhofs und ist zugleich der größte von ihnen. Auf ihm steht das Verwaltungsgebäude. Die Friedhöfe Nr. 2, 3, 4 und 5 befinden sich westlich der McDonald Avenue bis hin zur 19th Avenue. Geschichte Seine Entstehung verdankt der Washington Cemetery dem Rural Cemetery Act (Verordnung über Parkfriedhöfe) von 1847, mit dem die Errichtung von kommerziell geführten Parkfriedhöfen in New York außerhalb der Stadtgrenzen gestattet wurde (das damalige Teilgebiet von Kings County, ein Unincorporated Area, wo heute der Washington Cemetery liegt, gehörte nicht zu Brooklyn und Brooklyn selbst war noch nicht zu New York City eingemeindet). Der Friedhof wurde in den 1840er Jahren von James Arlington Bennet auf einem Teil seiner Grundstücke errichtet. Offiziell gilt er seit 1850 als ein Friedhof, 1857 wurde er als jüdischer Friedhof geweiht. 1886 betrug die Friedhofsfläche um 100 acres (etwa 40 ha), wovon 35 acres an verschiedene jüdische Bestattungsgemeinden vermietet wurden und 65 acres als einzelne Grabstätten zur Verfügung standen. Seit 2010 gibt es auf dem Friedhof mit über 100.000 Grabstätten keine freien Grabparzellen mehr. In den 1970er und 1980er Jahren gab es in New York (und Brooklyn) eine starke Einwanderungswelle jüdischer Immigranten aus der damaligen Sowjetunion. Die meisten ließen sich in der Nähe von Brighton Beach auf Coney Island (heute im Volksmund auch „Little Odessa“ genannt) nieder, wo sie bis heute leben. Der Washington Cemetery, der nur einige Subway-Haltestellen (beziehungsweise Autominuten) entfernt liegt, wurde zum bevorzugten Friedhof dieser jüdischen Gemeinde – man findet dort viele Grabsteine mit kyrillischer Schrift. Bekannte beerdigte Persönlichkeiten Joseph Edelstein (1858–1940) – künstlerischer Leiter des Yiddish Theater Pauline Edelstein (1866–1942) – Schauspielerin am Yiddish Theatre, Ehefrau von Joseph Edelstein Abraham Goldfaden, jiddischer Volksdichter und Komponist, gilt als Begründer des modernen jiddischen Theaters Jakob Gordin, jiddischer Autor Louis B.

Washington Market Park

Washington Market Park is an urban park located in the TriBeCa neighborhood of Lower Manhattan in New York City. The park, which is bounded by Greenwich, Chambers, and West Streets, covers 1.61-acre (6,500 m2). The park has community gardens and a large playground and hosts community events. History The city of New York proposed the construction of a municipal parking lot on a disused dump site located just south of the Independence Plaza apartments in the late 1970s. Residents of TriBeCa, including former New York City councilwoman Kathryn E. Freed, protested the planned parking lot and campaigned for a new city park in their neighborhood. At the time, Duane Park, a small triangle, was one of the few green spaces in TriBeCa. The activists successfully persuaded officials to build a park, which was called Washington Market Park, instead of the parking lot. In the late 1970s, a federally-funded Community Block Development Grant was obtained from the city and used to design and build the existing park. Lee Weintraub, then an architect with the city's Housing and Development Administration (HDA), was assigned to design the park. A not-for-profit corporation, Washington Market Community Park, Inc, was created in 1978 to oversee the park, to be run by a board of directors elected by the community. Washington Market Park opened in April 1983. It is named for the former Washington Market, which functioned as New York City's most important wholesale produce market, reaching its peak between 1880 and 1910. New York City tore down the nearby Washington Market buildings in the 1960s when the wholesale produce industry relocated to Hunts Point in the Bronx. In 2003, Mayor Michael Bloomberg included Washington Market Park as one of twelve parks in Lower Manhattan which received a combined $25 million in upgrades from the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation.

Washington Square Methodist Episcopal Church

Washington Square Methodist Episcopal Church was a United Methodist church which was located at 135 West Fourth Street in New York City's Greenwich Village for almost 150 years. History The building was constructed as a new and larger structure by the Sullivan Street Methodist church in 1860; a balcony added later was the first New York City example of one not supported by columns. This congregation briefly rented space in Trinity Chapel, New York University (1964), before joining with two other Methodist congregations to create the Church of the Village. Washington Square United Methodist Church was known as "The Peace Church" when under the leadership of Finley Schaef, resulting from the congregation's opposition to the Vietnam War. In late 1970, the church hosted planning meetings for the Fifth Street Women's Building Takeover in January 1971. Paul Abels, New York City's first openly gay clergyman, served as the church's pastor from 1973 to 1984 and promoted acceptance of the gay and lesbian community. The building was sold by its remaining small congregation in 2004, which could no longer support maintenance on the structure. The church could not be demolished as it was located in the Greenwich Village Historic District and was instead converted into Novare, a condominium apartment building.

Wellesley Island State Park

Wellesley Island State Park ist ein State Park auf Wellesley Island im Sankt-Lorenz-Strom im Gemeindegebiet von Orleans im Jefferson County, New York. Der Park bedeckt eine Fläche von 2636 Acre (10,67 km²) und unterteilt sich in verschiedene Areale, die auf der Insel verstreut sind. Er verfügt auch über den größten Camping-Komplex in der Thousand-Islands-Region, inklusive Wilderness Campsites am Ufer des St. Lawrence, die nur zu Fuß oder per Boot erreichbar sind. Der Park ist ganzjährig geöffnet. Geographie Der Park erstreckt sich über die nordwestlichen Ufer und Teile von Wellesley Island, welches durch eine Bucht des St. Lawrence und die Hügelketten stark in eine nördliche und eine südliche Hälfte gegliedert wird. Die Interstate 81 durchschneidet den Park teilweise an seiner östlichen Seite, kurz vor ihrem eigenen Endpunkt an der kanadischen Grenze. Der Park selbst grenzt im Norden zum großen Teil an kanadisches Staatsgebiet (Stave Island, Rich Island, Rowley Island, Downie Island, Spilsbury Island, O'Conor Island, Sir William Island, Myers Island, Bingham Island, Butts Island, Hill Island). Im Süden grenzt er an die Siedlung Thousand Island Park mit der Thousand Island Marina. In der Verlängerung von Wellesley Island erstrecken sich die Inseln Murray Isle, Hub Island und Grenell nach Südwesten. Die höchsten Erhebungen im Park steigen bis auf ca. 106 m über dem Meer an. Die Ufer am St. Lawrence liegen bei einer Höhe von ca. 76 m. Einen großen Uferabschnitt bildet die Eel Bay und parallel zur Ausrichtung der Insel verlaufen die Erhebungen von Südwesten nach Nordosten und bilden mitten im Park ein kleines Tal, in dessen Niederungen Feuchtgebiete auf der Höhe des St. Lawrence-Stromes liegen. Auf Wellesley Island befinden sich noch die älteren Stateparks Dewolf Point State Park (direkt im Anschluss, nordöstlich des Parks) und Mary Island State Park am nördlichsten Punkt der Insel, an der Nordostspitze des südlichen Inselarmes. Geschichte Die Thousand Island State Park Commission begann 1951 Farmland auf Wellesley Island zu erwerben und eröffnete den Wellesley Island State Park 1954. Schon vorher bestanden Dewolf Point State Park und Waterson Point State Park (beide von 1898, als Teil der St. Lawrence Reservation). 2004 kürte Reserve America den Wellesley Island State Park zu einem der 100 besten Campgrounds in Amerika. Freizeitmöglichkeiten Der Park bietet Möglichkeiten zum Schwimmen, Wandern, Jagen und Angeln, Cross-Country-Skilaufen, Radfahren und es gibt auch Erholungsprogramme und einen Nature Trail. Außerdem gehört auch das Minna Anthony Common Nature Center (MAC), ein Yachthafen und drei Bootsrampen, ein 9-Loch-Golfplatz (Wellesley Island State Park Golf Course), Hütten, Duschen, Picknickplätze, ein Spielplatz und ein Kiosk zum Park.
