Does Asphalt Green deserve your trust, again?
April 14, 2013– Essay by Steven E. Greer, MD
They’re baaaack. Asphalt Green is claiming to be in business once again, accepting memberships for summer camp and gym memberships. More than 1,700 families and 3,000 individuals of Downtown were burned two years ago when they paid their fees, then received promises after promises of ever shifting opening dates. Only after BatteryPark.TV uncovered the behind-the-scenes secret fighting between Asphalt Green and the BPCA which was causing the opening delays did real progress happen.
Throughout the two-years of delays, Asphalt Green management was well aware that the BPCA was misleading the public. Continue reading

The CB1 makes a grab for BPCA treasure chest to fund Pier 40
April 10, 2013– The Tribeca Cb1 passed the follow general resolution in support of the Hudson River Park. There s no mention of an NID Tax or call for Albany to allow for bonds to be issued. (In the comments section, an astute reader spotted that CB1 seems to be making a play for the Battery Park City Authority treasure chest by seeking “public funds” and defining the territory of the HRP as including Battery Park)

Poulakakos group discusses party boat plans for Pier A
April 9, 2013- Since last presenting their plans for developing Pier A more than a year ago, the Poulakakos group has now made it known that they intend to offer some sort of dinner or party boat cruise that would dock and depart from the pier.

Little League opening day attracts the unworthy taking credit
Opinion April 7, 2013 (updated 6:23 PM)
The ballfields were opened this morning and Little League was able to commence the season on schedule. Showing up for the photo-op, like flies to honey, were every imaginable elected official. Even some unelected people wedged themselves into view, such as Mark Costello (who helped create the ballfields) and BPCA board member Martha Gallo (who did not). We found this quite offensive since many of the people now claiming credit for the ballfields opening on time not only did nothing to help, but in some cases were working against the efforts.
Martha Gallo, an executive for JPMorgan,

Bob Townley sends Manhattan Youth kids to his own camp in the Catskills
January 1, 2013 By Steven E. Greer, MD
We previously reported what was known and unknown about Bob Townley’s Manhattan Youth finances, based on the Form 990 from the year 2010. There were many large item expenses that could have been paid to either Mr. Townley himself or cronies. Also, there were other ways in which Mr. Townley and his center could generate revenue greater than what was listed in the form. BatteryPark.TV has since learned of one such example. Continue reading

Latest arrests of State Assemblyman seem familiar
April 5, 2013- The latest in several arrests of New York State Assemblymen by federal prosecutors were made over allegations of the elected officials accepting bribes in exchange for helping prevent new competition to a community center.

New flood zone maps favor Battery Park City
March 1, 2013 By Steven E. Greer
BatteryPark.TV was the only local news site operational and reporting updates on the status of the flooding as the Hurricane Sandy storm surge came and went, leaving BPC virtually unscathed (see video below). Many readers were incredulous when they read our headline “Hurricane Sandy: Battery Park unscathed compared to rest of New York“. Months later, most people still have no idea that BPC was safe from the flood water and power outages. The region has been lumped in with the devastation of nearby FiDi, Tribeca, and the Seaport.
Now Continue reading
