Description: "This website, which takes the form of a virtual walking tour, grew out of the successful effort to establish an Audubon Park Historic District on land in northern Manhattan that had once been part of John James Audubon's farm Minniesland. That effort was one of many community-focused initiatives undertaken by a group of people who have since coalesced into the Audubon Park Alliance. The Audubon Park virtual walk--or, actual walk if you live nearby and visit in person--focuses on Audubon Park’s history from about 1841 to 1915 and traces its development from farm to suburb to cityscape."

Description: "The preservation of Tin Pan Alley, 28th Street between Broadway and 6th Avenue, was aided for many years by the absence of development in that area of New York City...With the recent rise in popularity and development of the area, this has all changed ... all of the remaining buildings that constitute Tin Pan Alley--45, 47, 49, 51, 53, and 55 West 28th Street, have been sold as a parcel to a real estate developer. Because of the large size of the parcel and the buyer’s experience in New York City real estate development, it is likely that all of Tin Pan Alley will be demolished to make room for high-rise development in the near future."
