Good question. This petition was started by Leo Heinert, very rad skater from NYC.

Reply to comment by Lakonislate in TIL The oldest known map of New York City, the Manatus Map, is lost; however, two 17th century copies of the map exist with slight differences. by wil540_
Very interesting. Never heard of this book, it has a Wikipedia article itself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Iconography_of_Manhattan_Island

Reply to Isn’t that one of the largest marble domes in the world? I think I remember learning that as a kid. by _wheresMySuperSuit
The Rhode Island State House is constructed of 327,000 cubic feet (9,300 m3) of white Georgia marble, 15 million bricks, and 1,309 short tons (1,169 long tons) of iron floor beams. The dome is "the fourth largest self-supported marble dome in the world".

Reply to There are now 5 maps around Crocheron & John Golden Park, the 12th largest park in Queens and 46th largest park in NYC. Our group is proud to have advocated for these maps and to have helped NYC Parks include important landmarks, like the 150 year old Ginkgo Tree. Come to Bayside to check them out! by crocheronpark
Very cool, I want to come check out the 150 y.o. Gingko tree and the new maps. Is the tree a historical landmark?
