Downtown Express, the "newspaper of lower Manhattan,"
reports that residents in Tribeca have been quite upset with their neighbor, New York Law School. From the
story:
When Tribeca residents call the New York Law School a brightly shining beacon of secondary education, they are not exaggerating — nor are they being complimentary. Since this spring, the law school’s new building at W. Broadway and Leonard St. has emitted a continuous fluorescent glow, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The bright light is disrupting the school’s neighbors at 6 Varick St., who say their street views are ruined and the incessant illumination is a waste of electricity.
I realize that NY Law students stay up late studying, but do they really have to keep the neighborhood up with them?
