The entire Grossman family was part of granpa, Samuel B. Grossman's "Grossman Star Company" - most of whom were on-stage, and others such as my father Joseph M. Grossman worked in the box office and management capacities. My father eventually moved "up town" to Broadway, working in a business position for the Brothers Shubert (Lee and JJ) and was one of the founding organizers of the union, ATPAM (the Association of Theatrical Press Agents and Managers).

The plaques make no sense on 33 St. They don't even mean that much where they are (hell, I've walked past/over them many times but never looked closely) but I still think they should stay there to honor the neighborhood.<br /><br />The sidewalk law was changed c. 2004-5. Did property owners have the right to stick anything they wanted in the sidewalk before that? I know they did have the responsibility before that to maintain sidewalks which had a "special use," but could they freely create that special use by installing plaques like these?Nestahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10501701057861397363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-20338087745875085502009-09-11T18:55:07.952-07:002009-09-11T18:55:07.952-07:00In an ideal world our own Municipal
