THE VANISHING CITY: MOVIE + PANEL @ DIXON PLACE.

The issue of luxury development replacing entire neighborhoods in the city has become one of the most critical debates in post-9/11 New York, and something that we at the SoHo Journal take seriously. History is being erased, families are being displaced, and the fabric of our neighborhoods is being altered forever—just ask anyone who has been priced out of the Lower East Side or Chinatown in recent years.This event takes on this disturbing trend by featuring the acclaimed short documentary Twilight Becomes Night, which chronicles the loss of New York’s small businesses. The trailer to a new film-in-progress, Vanishing New York will also be screened; funds raised will help finance the completion of the film. A panel including Andrew Berman of the Greenwich Village Society of Historic Preservation, New York Assemblymember Deborah Glick, Director of Good Jobs New York Bettina Domiani and others will address audience questions. This Dixon Place event is well worth attending—you should go.
