This differentiates it from Hunter College High School the 140-year-old selective high school on the east side of Manhattan.

]]> Comment on What to Do About the Central Park Coyotes? (With Poll) by ajay rokmon http://westsideindependent.com/2010/03/05/what-to-do-about-the-central-park-coyotes-with-poll/comment-page-1/#comment-1077 ajay rokmon Wed, 10 Mar 2010 03:47:44 +0000 http://westsideindependent.com/?p=4583#comment-1077 Let the coyotes run free and preferably wild. Given the dearth of muggers nowadays, New Yorkers need another reason to be afraid of walking through Central Park at night. Note: 1) Coyotes avoid people unless they are rabid, in which case, be afraid, be very afraid. Let the coyotes run free and preferably wild.

]]> Comment on Should Central Park Have a Tennis Bubble? by Maxine Spector http://westsideindependent.com/2010/02/11/should-central-park-have-a-tennis-bubble/comment-page-1/#comment-1072 Maxine Spector Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:55:09 +0000 http://westsideindependent.com/?p=4161#comment-1072 I play on these courts, and sometimes on the hard courts in winter. Since we cannot use those clay courts during the winter months, what would be the harm in making them available, as long as it doesn't impinge on the rights of those who play during the warmer months? And if it brought the city money too, is that a bad thing? At the present time, I don't know if I would be able to afford to use these courts under a bubble. If I could, that would be great, since I don't play indoors in the winter or go away for an extended time. If I cannot, there will probably be some inconvenience to me and others, but perhaps other benefits as well. I play on these courts, and sometimes on the hard courts in winter.
