New York Cities legendary PLAZA HOTEL will close its doors.....
by franklin J inthis great, worldclass, new york city hotel will close its doors may 1 to be renovated into a pricey co op.
the great public rooms with some of the most legendary new york architecture will be turned into a shopping mall..... while the exterior of the building has recieved "landmark status" ( must remain untouched and can only be restored with landmark commission approval); the magnificent architectural interior has not recieved this status.. there is a group of us ny architects and citizens fighting to preserve the architectural interior and have a landmark status designation.
applied to the interior for future generations see just how impressive architecture and the built environment can be.. for more information go to www.savetheplaza.com.

Michael Jackson biography on cable VH1
by franklin J ini caught the biography while flipping channels last nite and was surprised how much air time was given to the teachings of jehovahs witnesses and speculation on how it may have impacted the later decisions michael jackson made in his life.
it portrayed jackson the child as a victim of --not only the rigid teachings of jehovahs witnesses; also an abusive father ; dysfunctional family and the demanding rigors of a successful child performer; no childhood at all.
bill bowen was interviewd and the life of a dedicated jw was accurately portrayed.
