Stop the sop
To the Editor:
The mayor’s new proposal — “Zoning for Quality and Affordability” — is a very poorly disguised sop for real estate developers to pack more height and density into low-rise neighborhoods like ours and the Village. I certainly hope our City Council rep Corey Johnson doesn’t support it.

Alan’s a “mensch”…have known him for almost 30 years…and what a mentor…has taught me much about older films & genres I would have never known about.

Alan Sklar is that rare breed of New York City that’s missing these days. His cinema knowledge is top notch. My personal equivalent to Robert Osborne, the film historian & host of Turner Classic Movies.
Paul Kane
Great article — Alan’s a gem, and his movie knowledge is unbeatable.

A movie about a movie store! How great is that? I still have my original Alan’s Alley Member Card, but have not been in a while. Currently w/o a DVD player. LONG LIVE ALAN’S ALLEY along with other neighborhood small businesses here in Chelsea, NY.

Alan is beyond words…an amazing man!
