This block has already been pissed on: Village neighbors wary of new IFC Center
Manhattan's IFC Center, on the site of the old Waverly, is due to finally open sometime in May, and it's already in the crosshairs of its neighbors: Sharon Sullivan, president of the Central Village Block Association tells local paper The Villager, “We were surprised at how little information they seemed to have"... Sullivan said [the company] wouldn’t admit to having flashing or spinning lights, but they said the lights, shining through a grid, would create patterns on the sidewalk. “We don’t want the effect to be tawdry and we don’t want it flashing into people’s windows... This is not Times Square, this is Greenwich Village.” Marilyn Dorato, secretary of the Greenwich Village Block Associations, also seems to squint as she tells the giveaway, "Like it or not... they do have to have a relationship with the community.”
