Update on "Another House Too Narrow"

That is another example of scores of blocks in Queens that are ignored by the Manhattan-centric preservation community - and should be landmarked.

Of course while all 'official' channels in the preservation community ignore the misinformation pumped out by the media and politicians in Queens, it will never happen.

Lets keep the attention (and resources) in Manhattan where it traditionally 'belongs.'
