Hey Harlem Let's Get out of the Economic Hole


Hey Harlem, if the Federal government adopts a major project,
such as not just the Glass-Steagall, but the NAWAPA project, if
the NAWAPA project is adopted with what is ancillary to a NAWAPA
project, like a modern rail system -- you're going to put states
like Pennsylvania, New York State, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois,
Indiana, and out to St. Louis, the St. Louis operation out there,
you're going to put that back into business!  Which means, that
if you go with the nuclear policy, which we also need, which is
another million jobs; it's another million jobs to do these
ancillary operations and NAWAPA, as calculated by the Parsons
Company, originally, was 4 million jobs!  And that pretty much
stays at the same rate, now:  So therefore, we're talking about 6
million jobs, all of which are going to be funded under Federal
credit provisions.
            The Federal credit provisions will have two places it goes
to:  One, is the straight, direct Federal government intervention
into projects.  Number two, you will have the effects on the
states, which will be doing things {in} the states, private
companies, as contractors will be doing things in the states, so
therefore, you're going to have a massive amount, of about 6
million jobs, of which the upper half of the qualifications on
the 6 million jobs, will be high technology.
            Now, this means, that we are giving a sudden, almost instant
rescue, for the U.S. economy, by three particular actions:  1)
The Glass-Steagall itself; 2) You're going to have a project like
developing the states, a states-saving project; 3) You're going
to have a large-scale program, focused on about 6 million jobs,
to be set into motion fairly rapidly, very much the way the
Tennessee Valley Authority was set into motion, but this is a
different project, it's much larger, and so forth.  But the same
principle applies to the Federal government's organizing of the
financing and construction of these projects

Bronx Antiques and Arts District







There has been a real change over the past few years in the area of the South Bronx by Bruckner Blvd and Alexander Ave, now known as the Antiques and Arts District. It is located across the Harlem River from Harlem NY, across the Willis Avenue Bridge. Furniture and Antique stores have been sprouting and lately a deli, print shop and even a café have appeared. Alexander's Cafe at 129 Alexander Avenue was a stop on the December 5th 2007 Bronx Cultural Trolley; for more on the Bronx Trolley tour see www.bronxarts.org. The owner, Chris Dimitriyadi prepared special three dollar specialties for the evening: carrot cake, beef stew, and tiramisu (along with live music) and it’s a pretty and comfortable place to stop for breakfast, lunch, and on Thursday, Friday and Saturdays, for dinner, or order at alexanderstogo.com, call (718) 993-5281. Chris has only been in business at the location since July 2007. He feels comfortable at his café in the South Bronx, or now as it is known “Sobro.” He has a steady stream of clientele coming for meals or just coffee, or expresso and cakes. He hopes the area continues to develop apartments and businesses.

Other distinctive shops include the furniture upholsterers around the corner on Bruckner Blvd., Custom Design Studio, at 49 Bruckner Blvd, Bronx, NY 10454, 718-665-0777 / 718-993-8370, 718-665-7896 (fax), www.customdesignny.com, custdesny@aol.com. Denise and Enrique Cruz specialize in custom furniture upholstery,, antique furniture re-upholstery, and drapes at customers request. Custom Design Studio has been in business for 18 years, and many of their prices are much lower than downtown Manhattan.. New York magazine wrote in 2005 that "Custom Design Studio may be the best-kept secret in the trade."
Kelly’s Furniture, at 26 Bruckner Blvd. has a large showroom and has a neighboring building undergoing renovations. Classic Antiques is a small but rewarding antique destination, with mahogany dressers and dining room sets., at 21 Bruckner Blvd., 718-401-9345. Angel De la Cruz operates a factory dedicated to preparing custom canvases for artists. Angel and his three full-time employees stretch and prime specialty canvases of all sizes that are sold through custom orders at art supply stores and also to individual artists, call at 718-665-3814. Recently opened at this location, Joseph Cofer's fine art gallery is filled with colorful tropical paintings and prints by himself and by other artists that he represents. Rainbow Graphics also provides fine art reproduction, photo printing, logo and graphic design, at 39 Bruckner Blvd (entrance on Alexander Ave), Bronx, NY 10454, 718-585-6869.
New Jersey antique dealer Lou Newkirk opened Bruckner Antiques (37 Bruckner Blvd at Alexander Ave; 718-292-6028) here in 1979, and has been in business since. Another shop is Seabirds' Thrift World Antiques (122 Alexander Ave between Bruckner Blvd and 134th St; 718-402-3826) and Jenny's Antiques (126 Alexander Ave between Bruckner Blvd and 134th St; 718-401-2928). The stores are close to Manhattan, but that proximity is not reflected in their prices, making this the place to pick up Art Deco coffee tables and other antiques.
