It's official--we're "cutting edge"!

LW! received a wonderful 25th-anniversary gift from fellow blogger Anthony C. Wood, who wrote:

"Valuing our history doesn’t mean one is backward looking or a closet Luddite. LANDMARK WEST! has been a preservation leader in employing new technology to advance the preservation cause. It is on the cutting edge with its iPhone walking tour app. Its website also has an Advocacy Archive documenting LANDMARK WEST!’s history of advocacy campaigns. One can be forward thinking and forward looking and still appreciate the intellectual capital that is one’s own past."

Tony practices what he preaches.  Visit landmarks45.org to learn more about NYC preservation in this 45th-anniversary year of our city's Landmarks Law.

Past forward!
