Occasionally our blog posts will be pulled by other blogs or news agencies. In this case, Runnin’ Scared, the 9news blog of the Village Voice, got hold of one of our posts:
In May, Runnin’ Scared reported a protest over the City Council’s rezoning plans for 125th Street. One protestor told us, “The renovation of Marcus Garvey Park is a real red herring. We never heard people ask for that.” Red herring or no, it’s happening: The Marcus Garvey Park bandshell, at least, is getting a makeover. UptownFlavor tells us that Mayor Bloomberg will announce the project at a press conference tomorrow at the Bandshell, near W. 122nd St. and Mt. Morris Park West.

Valerie Jo Bradley, long time resident and founder of the marcus garvey parks alliance, asked for it and has been calling for it for years and years. not sure who said “we never asked for it” or who the hell “we” is, but i think Valerie Jo would strongly disagree with that statement.
