Louis del Sarte's " Spirit of Harlem'' wall mosaic that was commissioned in 2005 by Norfolk Bank has livened up the corner of what became Capital One (125th Street and Frederick Douglass Boulevard) for the last 10 years. Capital One has now relocated to the adjacent corner and the storefront is currently vacant. This is a great example of how to use dead space in commercial footprints to brand 125th Street as a cultural destination. "

#ProjectDiane: Breaking Tech's Diversity Catch-22

City is Collecting Fewer Fines from Small Businesses

As such, the agency is collecting less in fines from businesses and conducting fewer investigations into possible violations, Commissioner Julie Menin told the City Council Friday. In the fiscal year that started last June, DCA has inspected 35,328 businesses, 15% fewer than it did over the same time period in fiscal year 2014. Likewise, it has collected $5.3 million in fines so far in this fiscal year, a staggering 42% reduction from the $9.2 million collected during the same period in 2014. Read More
