Harlem Tells Columbia 'No' (and Whispers 'Negotiate')

The West Harlem community board voted firmly against Columbia University’s expansion, 31-2, Monday night, which, while purely advisory, is going to put a lot of pressure on the school to make at least some changes to its plan.

A rebuilt Harlem block is grateful to Brooke Astor

When Claris Cunningham first moved to Astor Row 20 years ago, the stretch of 130th Street in the heart of Harlem was in ruin, its famed porches reduced to splinters, and many of its 19th century homes sitting empty.

She remembers around that time how a small, elderly woman started to come by, just when the neighbors had begun to band together to fix up their street.

That woman was philanthropist Brooke Astor, who died Monday at the age of 105. She had found out about the state of the block that bore her late husband's family name, and was determined to restore the place to its former glory.
