No frick'n way!

Recently the Frick Museum in New York City had a plan to eliminate the elevated lawn out front on 5th Avenue with the beautiful magnolia trees, and build a six story addition to the museum in that area. New Yorkers went nuts and the Frick board backed down. A museum official said it wasn't going to work. If only all development would go away so easily.

I'm not sure if you are familiar with the museum, but it is like going back in time, the museum, which was the home of Henry Clay Frick, built from 1912-14 looks today, just like it did back then.

Frick was not a nice guy, he broke the unions at US Steel for Andrew Carnegie, who hid out in Scotland while Frick did the dirty work in the early 20th Century. But he left a magnificent home and wonderful artwork behind after his death.
