"How Adult Uses Created a Neighborhood"

...based on the history of the LGBT community in New York City and how the Adult Use Zoning laws affected the community. 

On the ten year anniversary of our last such walking tour, our guides, Richard Landman and Michael Levine, will once again share their decades of experience as planning and legal professionals, activists, residents and "gay men about town."  This tour offers unique insight into the ways that adult uses in New York related to existing neighborhoods and the LGBT population.

The speakers' collective experience includes participating in the Stonewall Riots at Sheridan Square in 1969; helping to found the Gay Liberation Front at the University of Buffalo in 1970; and serving as the former Director of Administration at the NYC Dept. of City Planning in 1979 and the Executive Director of Real Estate Development in 1979.

The tour will start at 1 pm at Sheridan Square, and end at approximately 2:30 pm at the piers (Hudson River). The tour will include approximately one hour of lecture and 30 minutes of walking.

CM credits pending.

Please watch for registration details to be announced.  Please direct any questions to Cade Hobbick, GALIP Chair (cade@galip.org).
