Most New Yorkers spend these last two weeks of August, better known as the dog days of summer, off at the beach; up in the mountains; on a pilgrimage to Yasgur's Farm or just squirreled away in the most air conditioned spot they can possibly find. But, just like everything else about it, Marx Brothers Place marches to its own drum.
Determined to stay put despite the heat, thermal or political, Marx Brothers Place remains firmly perched on its quiet little stretch of the Carnegie Hill. However, having taken on a life of its own, the preservation campaign launched to protect this beloved little block, has been off globe-trotting, flexing its independent muscles & enjoying the grand summer tour!
First, the-little-campaign-that-could made its way all across the pond to bloody old England!!! Leave it to the Brits to spot a good fight when they see one!
Not given to letting any grass grow under its feet, however, from there, our intrepid little campaign ricocheted right back into the hazy days of its mother country, plunking itself down on the parched plains of Indiana (Are there plains in Indiana? It always looks rather flat on the news).
So, with the Marx Brothers Place preservation campaign racking up frequent cybermiles all on its own, who knows where our plucky little effort might end up next? Anybody blogging out in the Hamptons?
We hope you are all enjoying the summer, now that it has finally deigned to make a cameo appearance in the Northeast!
And we look forward to seeing you all again in autumn!
Best wishes from Marx Brothers Place!
