With all the talk of investment in Yonkers, little is mentioned at whose expense the building will come from (and who will truly profit)
Of course there is a little bit of NIMBY going on here-- everyone wants development, but nobody wants traffic, congestion, and the problems that go along with development.
Still, I am standing with the people who say PAY ATTENTION, YONKERS!
Here's a video that they created: (and if you would like to get involved, visit their website http://www.yonkersgone.blogspot.com
Good luck on the water front. We're going through something similar here.
ReplyDeleteI've read your blog off and on for the past few years. Every time I see it the same thing pops in to my head: A screeching, old woman's voice screaming "Fan Dancers From Yonkers!"
That line is from an old Twightlight Zone episode. I don't even remember the plot, but at some point a woman accuses here husband of cavorting with "Fan Dancers From Yonkers". I was very young at the time I saw it and I had know idea where or even what "Yonkers" was at that time. And Fan Dancers From Yonkers was something I really had a hard time envisioning.
That must have been 35 years ago and now every time I see your blog I get this image a woman screaming at her husband "Fan Dancers From Yonkers!"
Do you know if there are any Fan Dancers in Yonkers?
I'm not sure of the movie-- but somebody else has mentioned the line Fan Dancers from Yonkers to me.
ReplyDelete"Yonkers-- with the Fan Dancers" Not sure where it comes from.
Glad you are reading, whatever it takes....
I haven't met any fandancers-- but I'll start looking!
