It is easy to maintain social distancing for the small groups of 1-2 people that I will lead through historic Greenwich Village. I recommend early morning walks through the almost deserted streets. It is a lovely time of year and the flowers are beautiful.

Love to see you on one of my Marc's Village Walks. The trees in Greenwich Village are in bloom and look beautiful now. After the Washington arch was completed two statues of Washington were added. One of Washington as the soldier and the other as Washington the statesman. The latter was sculpted by Alexander Calder, the father of the artist of the same name who created the mobile.

A letter I recently wrote was published in our local West View: On Gansevoort street between Hudson and Greenwich streets the original 150-year-old paving stones are being replaced by crudely cut multi colored stones with a band of black stones running down the middle.

57 years ago in May the City said that people could not play music in Washington Square Park any more. I and many demonstrators marched. The first time the police beat people with their clubs. After several demonstrations they rescinded the order and to this day people are free to play music in Washington Square Park. This is a copy of the article in the NY Times.
