From Niznoz: “It’s the Metro theatre on Broadway and 99th. It recently closed, again, and while the outside is protected as a landmark, the concern in the neighborhood is that it’s going to be gutted and turned into a supermarket. It’s a Deco classic.”

US Democrats plan bill to block Dubai-US port deal
Two U.S. Democratic senators said on Friday they would introduce legislation aimed at blocking Dubai Ports World from buying a company that operates several U.S. shipping ports because of security concerns.
Robert Menendez of New Jersey and Hillary Clinton of New York said they would offer a measure to ban companies owned or controlled by foreign governments from acquiring U.S. port operations.
“We wouldn’t turn the border patrol or the customs service over to a foreign government, and we can’t afford to turn our ports over to one either,” Menendez said in a statement.
