Lost City will be taking a short respite in the coming weeks. In the meantime, I wish every reader, and every New Yorker, a joyous holiday season, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

A happy season to you as well, and looking forward to your return next year!
Merry Christmas Brooks! And thank you again for all of the work you put into researching, photographing, and writing this blog. Without it much of the city's history will simply fade away.
I may. I don't know. I started the blog as a reaction to New York under Bloomberg's reign. And now Bloomberg is gone. And so many blogs have since followed Lost City's example and taken up the torch I picked up back in 2006. Additionally, my actual paying work is keeping me very busy just now. But I will never say never.
The original, running Jeremiad on the vestiges of Old New York as they are steamrolled under or threatened by the currently ruthless real estate market and the City Fathers' disregard for Gotham's historical and cultural fabric. Est. January 2006. Contact Me
I have lived in New York City since 1988 and earn my bread as a writer. I began this blog in January 2006. Beyond that, don't be so nosy.

One of the old book jackets lining the walls of Chumley's. Eternal Shame on Bloomberg, the City Fathers, and the powers that be that this cultural landmark has STILL not been saved and reopened.

A month later I am looking forward to (hoping) for the blog to restart!
Sorry for delay. Trying to work it out.
Miss your posts. Will you be restarting?

Thank God Bloom is gone but still, hope you come back.
Hope you decide to come back. I like your posts and point of view better than some of the other blogs.
Thanks IE, I appreciate that.
Looking forward to your return Brooks.
This blog serves a very useful and helpful role in trying to document the ongoing destruction of the place we love.
I hope you return.
