National Soaring Museum

National Soaring Museum (NSM) är ett amerikanskt segelflygmuseum utanför Elmira i delstaten New York. Museet grundades under 1960-talet för att bevara och vårda den historiska delen av motorlöst flyg med glid- och segelflygplan. Till en början var antalet flygplan litet, men när Schweizer Aircrafts grundare Paul Schweizer kom med i museets arbetsgrupp ökade antalet flygplan i rask takt. Efter att det moderna segelflyget skapades i Harris Hill på 1930-talet har berget utvecklat sig till ett segelflygcenter liknande Wasserkuppe i Tyskland. Sedan 1975 hanterar även museet registerföringen av den amerikanska Soaring Hall of Fame på uppdrag av Soaring Society of America. I museet finns ett drygt 80-tal glid- och segelflygplan varav ett 30-tal ingår i den permanenta utställningen. 1978 flyttade man in i sina nuvarande lokaler som även rymmer en egen reparationsverkstad där renoveringssarbeten på flygplan kan utföras. 1989 byggde man till fastigheten med ett annex för att bli världens största museum för motorlöst flyg. Det äldsta flygplanet i samlingarna är Chanute-Herring glidflygplan från 1896. Bland de utställda segelflygplanen finns Sisu 1-A, DFS Olympia och Ka-6, lastglidflygplanet Waco CG-4A samt kopior på bröderna Wrights glidflygplan från 1902 och 1911.

Argosy Book Store

The Argosy Book Store is New York City's oldest independent bookstore. Located at 116 East 59th Street, between Park and Lexington Avenues in Midtown Manhattan, it occupies an entire six-story townhouse with various sales floors specializing in first editions, Americana, leather bindings, antique maps and prints, and autographs. The store, also noted for a wide selection of bargain books, has its own framing and shipping departments and owns a large warehouse in Brooklyn. History The Argosy was founded in 1925 by Louis Cohen, who picked the name, in part, because it started with the letter "A" and would be listed early in telephone directories. Originally located in the old Bible House on Fourth Avenue's famed "Book Row," it moved to 114 East 59th Street in the 1930s and then moved next door to its current address in 1964 when the previous building was replaced with a skyscraper. Cohen's wife, Ruth Shevin, managed the store's art gallery into her 90s and worked with several other family members over the years. Now in its third generation of family ownership, the store is operated by Cohen's three daughters and grandson. Since its inception, the Argosy has worked with many prominent customers, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who ordered books from an early catalogue, and later First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, who needed help stocking the White House library with Americana. President Bill Clinton has been a regular customer ever since the owners restored his flood-damaged collection of books in Chappaqua, New York. Other high-profile customers have included Michael Jackson, Stephen Sondheim, Princess Grace, Sally Field, Donatella Versace, Oriana Fallaci, and Kevin Rudd. Patti Smith was briefly an employee in 1967. In October 2012 the Argosy suffered extensive damage during Hurricane Sandy, when bricks dislodged from the 32nd story of the adjacent building and crashed through the store's roof. The resulting flood affected the top two floors and destroyed many historical artifacts, including acts of Congress signed by Thomas Jefferson. The store made a full recovery by the fall of 2013. In popular culture The Argosy, known for its elegant old-world interior, has been used as a setting for movies and TV dramas, including The Front with Woody Allen, Law and Order, and Person of Interest. Alfred Hitchcock's film Vertigo also features a bookstore of the same name situated in San Francisco. It has also been used as a background for fashion shoots and television interviews. It was prominently featured in the 2018 movie Can You Ever Forgive Me? and is among the New York bookstores where the real-life Lee Israel had attempted to sell her forgeries. It was also featured in the 2019 movie The Goldfinch. The store and its history are one of the subjects of the 2019 documentary The Booksellers. The Argosy was also the subject of an article by Janet Malcolm in The New Yorker.

Nissequogue River State Park

Nissequogue River State Park is a 521-acre (2.11 km2) state park located on the banks and bluffs of the Nissequogue River in Kings Park, New York. The park was opened in 2000, and established on the waterfront portion of the former Kings Park Psychiatric Center. The name of the park was originally assigned to what is today the Caleb Smith State Park Preserve. History Nissequogue River State Park was first established in 2000 on a 153-acre (0.62 km2) portion of the former Kings Park Psychiatric Center property, which was closed in 1996. The remainder of the hospital's property remained available to development at that time. In 2007, an additional 368 acres (1.49 km2) of former hospital property were added to Nissequogue River State Park. At the time of the transfer, 90 acres (0.36 km2) of the property that included the hospital's former buildings remained to be cleaned up and redeveloped, however plans called for development to be consistent with the surrounding parkland. On May 17, 2010 New York State closed this park along with 55 other state parks due to budget cuts. However, the state reversed their decision on Nissequogue, and reopened the park on May 28, following passage of an $11 million deal in the state senate. Demolition of 18 former hospital buildings, as well as the hospital's large smokestack, took place in 2013. A second round of demolitions was scheduled for 2016. Park description Recreational opportunities at the park include soccer, bird watching, fishing, canoeing/kayaking, hiking, biking, and guided tours. The park also includes a marina with seasonal boat slips. A bird conservation area has been established at the park, with the primary purpose of protecting overwintering locations for waterfowl and migratory birds. The conservation area particularly aims to protect feeding and roosting habitat for wading birds such as egrets and herons. Several former Kings Park Psychiatric Center buildings remain standing in the park. Among those buildings that have been renovated is the former Veterans Administration Building (Building 125), which serves as the park office. Other notable buildings include York Hall (Building 80), the hospital's main auditorium and theater, which has been on the National Register of Historic Places since October 23, 2023.

Hij staat aan de straten Old Slip en Wall Street in de wijk South Street Seaport van de Lower East Side op het eiland Manhattan. Aangezien het 32 Old Slip goed zichtbaar is vanwege de ligging aan de westelijke oever van de East River, vormt het een belangrijk onderdeel van de skyline van New York. De United States Mint, een tak van de United States Department of the Treasury, verkocht de grond waarop het gebouw zou komen te staan in 1983 aan projectontwikkelaar aan Howard Ronson's HRO International Ltd. Daarvoor stond op die locatie het gebouw van de United States Assay Office, waar onderzoek werd gedaan naar of over edele metalen. Dit gebouw moest plaats ruimen voor het 32 Old Slip. Het gebouw heette aanvankelijk One Financial Square, terwijl de bouw van de wolkenkrabber werd voltooid in 1987. De Paramount Group, actief in de wereldwijde defensie-, interne veiligheid- en vredeshandhaving, kocht het gebouw voor de som van 135 miljoen dollar in 1995, met steun van de voormalige Japanse bank Sanwa. Het Zuid-Afrikaanse bedrijf ving twaalf jaar later 751 miljoen dollar toen ze het gebouw verkocht aan Beacon Capital Partners, dat hiervoor een lening van 350 miljoen dollar moest aanvragen bij MetLife. De verkoop van het 32 Old Slip in 2007 was destijds een van de grootste deals die werden afgesloten op commercieel vastgoed in de stad. In december 2014 kocht vastgoedonderneming RXR Realty het gebouw van Beacon Capital Partners voor een bedrag van 675 miljoen dollar. In populaire cultuur Het 32 Old Slip verschijnt in het computerspel Grand Theft Auto IV uit 2008 en hieropvolgende episodes Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony (GTA: TBoGT) en Grand Theft Auto: The Lost and Damned (GTA: TLaD) uit 2009, en vanuit top-downperspectief in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, eveneens uit 2009 ; allen door de Amerikaanse studio Rockstar Games. In GTA: TBoGT heeft het gebouw een rolletje in de missie "Sexy Time" van het personage Yusuf Amir, waarbij de speler een gevechtshelikopter (Buzzard), op een luxejacht gestolen, op het dak landt. Het gebouw kreeg de fictieve naam Privateer Road Building in de fictieve stad Liberty City conform andere gebouwen op Manhattan. De wijk waar het gebouw op Lower Manhattan staat, kreeg de naam Fishmarket South en is gebaseerd op South Street Seaport. De straatnaam, met name Old Slip, werd Privateer Road genoemd.

Thomas R. Proctor High School

Thomas R. Proctor High School is the only high school in the Utica City School District in Utica, New York. The school was built in 1934 with funds from the Works Progress Administration and Thomas R. Proctor. It opened its doors on September 9, 1936. The school is the only public high school in Utica after Utica Free Academy closed in 1990. Demographics Proctor is a highly diverse school. As of the 2021–2022 school year, 2,689 students were enrolled. Of that, 757 (28%) were White, 722 (27%) were Black, 536 (20%) were Hispanic, 527 (20%) were Asian, 138 (5%) were of two or more races, and 9 (less than 1%) were American Indian. Due to the large immigrant and refugee population in Utica, more than 40 languages have been spoken by Proctor students, among them Arabic, Bosnian, Burmese, Karen, Nepali, Russian, Somali, Spanish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese. Proctor is eligible for schoolwide Title I, and about three-fourths of students in the 2021–2022 school year were eligible for free or reduced lunch. History Thomas Redfield Proctor (May 25, 1844 - July 4, 1920) was a prominent Utica businessman and philanthropist. Thomas R. Proctor Park, which consists of land he purchased and donated to the city, is also named for him. In 2015, the Utica City School District was sued by six refugee students, who alleged that refugee students older than 16 who were judged to have poor English language skills were denied enrollment at Proctor High School. They were instead diverted into weaker alternative programs that focused solely on English as a foreign language and did not lead to a diploma or adequately prepare for a high school equivalency exam. The suits were settled in 2016, eliminating the alternative programs. Athletic department Thomas R. Proctor High School offers a variety of sports for both girls and boys to compete in at varsity and junior varsity levels. The 2007 boys varsity baseball team were class AA NYSPHSAA champions. The varsity cheerleading squad also holds a national title, and placed first in all five of their competitions in the school year of 2007–2008.
