Fought City Hall in 1974 to save the Loews Triboro in Astoria Queens. It was a 3,200 seat neighborhood picture palace in pristine condition. Dirty politics from the than Queens Borough President doomed it and it went down. Same story in Flushing in 1986. Actually declared a landmark until powerful money people got to the same Borough President who had it delandmarked . It sits there today rotting away. I no longer waste my time doing a Man Of La Mancha on these things. If there is money involved you are wasting your time re preservation.
Money talks etc.....
