timelightbox: Add this one to your calendars — New York based photographer John Milisenda is having an exhibition of his work made on the Lower East Side during the 1960s at the Grand Central Library, 135 East 46th street. (exhibition takes place April 2 - 20th) Milisenda will be giving a lecture about his worth on the April 14th at 10:30 am. Read more here. The photographs are a candid portrait of everyday life experience, balanced between romanticism and mean streets. Many of the photographs were made when he was a teenager and before he received his education in art at Pratt Institute. To see more of his work visit his website.

neighborhoodr-lowereastside: We see your High Line Park and raise you a…Low Line?  The site for this potential underground haven is an abandoned trolley station beneath Delancey Street (trolleys used to go over the Williamsburg Bridge!). Local architecture design firm (as in Chrystie Street-based local) RAAD Studio created this design utilizing solar collectors from above ground to diffuse sunlight below, which looks to allow for some rich plant life and happy people down there. RAAD is presenting their plan to Community Board 3’s Land Use Zoning committee tomorrow. That’s a great first step, but there’s a long road before this project comes to fruition. Either way, we’ll be glad to see it if/when it does come around.  via The L Magazine (Fun cross-section illustration of the Wburg Bridge in 1903 here, too!)
