SAD NEWS
ALICE LUPINSKY
We are sad to share the news that long-time 45th street resident (since the 1940's) Alice Lupinsky,age 89 has passed away. Alice was an active member of the block association, bringing coffee to meetings for many years (and attending more recently with her great hell's kitchen spirit, apologizing for no longer doing so). One neighbor reminisced Alice's stories about when the Westies would go around selling little items they'd stolen (like gloves) and folks would purchase them (for a nickel or so) to stay on good terms. Our heartfelt condolences to John and all others in her immediate and Hell's Kitchen family. Donations in Alice's memory can be made to St. Judes Children's Hospital.
PEDESTRIAN KILLED ON 45th/10th
We are saddened to hear of this tragic loss of life, right here on our block. As far as we know, no charges have been filed.
This is a reminder for us all - as pedestrians, bikers, bladers, drivers - and all else - TO TRAVEL SAFELY! 9th Avenue is all dug up getting ready for a newly extended bike lane. CitiBikes are on their way to stations all around the City. If you're interested in safe, efficient streets, make sure to join us for our May 30 bike film, together with CHEKPEDS.
