[edit] Gang truce
You might want to mention the gang truce that lasted through most of the 1970s and created the atmosphere in which hip-hop culture evolved. -- Jmabel | Talk June 28, 2005 21:38 (UTC)
[edit] Vietnam protests
You might want to mention the massive protest actions in NYC during the Vietnam war era. -- Jmabel | Talk June 28, 2005 21:38 (UTC)
[edit] Levittown
"…increasing suburbanization in the New York metropolitan area as pioneered in Levittown, New York." Levittown pioneered the "pre-fab" suburb, but NYC had plenty of suburbs before that. The parkway system, etc. should be mentioned as a factor in suburbanization. I'm not particularly working on this article, but just making a suggestion that this could actually be an informative section, but really isn't right now. - Jmabel | Talk 00:57, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lincoln Center
I don't have enough of the details to do it myself, but could someone add a mention of the building of Lincoln Center in the 1960s? Thanks. J. Van Meter 18:12, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Near-bankruptcy
A recent anoymous edit changed the mayor at the time the city first got federal loans to stave off bankruptcy from Lindsay to Beame. Obviously, Beame eventually obtained loans after the "Drop Dead" incident, but I believe there were earlier loans under Lindsay. Can someone who knows this history better please sort this out? No one has provided citations, and I don't particularly have any at hand. - Jmabel | Talk 02:39, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
