Today's riddle: What do you call a belt that is made of watches? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• NYCHA Seniors Refuse to Leave Chelsea Public Housing Set for Demolition (internewscast.com) — Seniors at Chelsea's Fulton-Elliot Houses are refusing to leave their NYCHA building, which is slated for demolition as part of a $1.2 billion redevelopment that would replace all 2,056 public units and add 3,000 mixed-income apartments. While officials say most tenants can stay in place until new homes are ready, residents of the senior-only Chelsea Addition face immediate relocation, raising safety, accessibility, and fairness concerns for vulnerable neighbors.
• Pace Gallery Hangs a 'For Rent' Sign on NYC Flagship (artforum.com) — If you live or work near West 25th Street, Pace Gallery is looking to rent out upper floors of its massive Chelsea headquarters at 540 West 25th to help cover operating costs. The gallery says exhibition spaces and visitor experience will stay the same, but the move follows staff and artist roster cuts as it adapts to a softer global art market.
• These Are The Best School Districts In NYC, New Ranking Says (patch.com) — Families in Chelsea are part of one of NYC's top-rated school districts, with District 2 earning an A- in Niche's latest rankings. The list highlights how local schools stack up on academics, diversity, and college prep, alongside other high-performing districts across the city. It's useful context if you're weighing moves, school choices, or staying put in the neighborhood.
