I think it's a little late for that....
that is stupid provincial title for discussion.
Fine with preserving things in neighborhood, how to keep area liveable....but this brooklyn vs. manhattan thing is childish and counterproductive.
The artwork showing Cobble Hill is by Leo and Diane Dillon, famous artist team who are long-time residents of CH, and have done covers and interiors for many children's, reference, and Science Fiction books. They won the Caldecott Award and many other honors. Leo died at the end of May in LICH. The artwork is from the 1960s. Their son Lee and his partner own Fusion Designs Gallery on Atlantic Avenue.
Thanks for the information, Andrew. I always loved this artwork.
Sorry to hear about Leo's passing.
