"Philadelphia's South Street provides the scene for a novel which has for a subject the inter-racial contacts and strains that were the meat of Mr. Smith's Last of the Conquerors (Reviewed on p. 269, June 1, 1948 Bulletin). The various pathways of the figures who make up the Negro community emerge -- the Blues Singer, Lil, whose anger led her to live off men and finally murder when her true loyalties were roused; the Bowers brothers who had pledged to avenge their father's death by actively hating whites -- Michael the desperate one, Philip the dreamer, Claude the famous one whose people plague him as much as the more threatening whites when he marries Kristin a white girl and a musician. The love of Claude and Kristin faces pressures impossible to withstand -- still loving one another, they part -- Claude to work for his people, Kristin to play her violin. Tenderness and violence commingle in a novel with some measure of force in its characters and its relentless portrayal of individuals caught up in group conflicts."--Kirkus

Preserving South Street Seaport tells the fascinating story, from the 1960s to the present, of the South Street Seaport District of Lower Manhattan. Home to the original Fulton Fish Market and then the South Street Seaport Museum, it is one of the last neighborhoods of late 18th- and early 19th-century New York City not to be destroyed by urban development. In 1988, South Street Seaport became the city's #1 destination for visitors. Featuring over 40 archival and contemporary black-and-white photographs, this is the first history of a remarkable historic district and maritime museum. Lindgren skillfully tells the complex story of this unique cobblestoned neighborhood. Comprised of deteriorating, 4-5 story buildings in what was known as the Fulton Fish Market, the neighborhood was earmarked for the erection of the World Trade Center until New Jersey forced its placement one mile westward. After Penn Station’s demolition had angered many New York citizens, preservationists mobilized in 1966 to save this last piece of Manhattan’s old port and recreate its fabled 19th-century “Street of Ships.” The South Street Seaport and the World Trade Center became the yin and yang of Lower Manhattan’s rebirth. In an unprecedented move, City Hall designated the museum as developer of the twelve-block urban renewal district. However, the Seaport Museum,whose membership became the largest of any history museum in the city, was never adequately funded, and it suffered with the real estate collapse of 1972. The city, bankers, and state bought the museum’s fifty buildings and leased them back at terms that crippled the museum financially. That led to the controversial construction of the Rouse Company's New Fulton Market (1983) and Pier 17 mall (1985). Lindgren chronicles these years of struggle, as the defenders of the people-oriented museum and historic district tried to save the original streets and buildings and the largest fleet of historic ships in the country from the schemes of developers, bankers, politicians, and even museum administrators. Though the Seaport Museum’s finances were always tenuous, the neighborhood and the museum were improving until the tragedy of 9/11. But the prolonged recovery brought on dysfunctional museum managers and indifference, if not hostility, from City Hall. Superstorm Sandy then dealt a crushing blow. Today, the future of this pioneering museum, designated by Congress as America’s National Maritime Museum, is in doubt, as its waterfront district is eyed by powerful commercial developers. While Preserving South Street Seaport reveals the pitfalls of privatizing urban renewal, developing museum-corporate partnerships, and introducing a professional regimen over a people’s movement, it also tells the story of how a seedy, decrepit piece of waterfront became a wonderful venue for all New Yorkers and visitors from around the world to enjoy. This book will appeal to a wide audience of readers in the history and practice of museums, historic preservation, urban history and urban development, and contemporary New York City. This book is supported by a grant from Furthermore: a program of the J.M. Kaplan Fund.

It seems as if the whole block is out on the street. A man is inside filling his girlfriend's row house with gas and threatening to light a match. The girlfriend is crying into a phone with her kids on the corner across the street. A young girl hyperventilates, passes out. The cop does nothing. A young boy stands wearing his pajamas in the middle of the street at noon. The police tell us to move back another block -- the house might explode, the man might have a gun. A TV crew arrives. Their reporter, a blonde with long legs, stops to pet some miniature dogs. The boyfriend eventually gives himself up, his hands raised, two blocks away. Some of us leave. Later, we look for ourselves on the news at 5. But we're not there. Book jacket.
