On my way home I saw these posters plastered on the corner of Thompson and Spring. It's strange that they are still running and infinitely sad.

creepy
totally- but it's probably worse to take them down.
i'm just glad the tagline for the ad is innocuous--it could've been bad.
Lyric, my niece, was a beautiful person who would have done anything to help anyone. She deserved a good life more than anyone. Please remember her.

the American Express ad is also inserted in the bus stop shelter on Grand Street (corner of Columbia St.) on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. i live 3 blocks away. every time i pass it i say a Jewish prayer for her.
i hope they never remove the ad.
just wanted to also say i live in Lyric's neighborhood and it is NOT Chinatown. the papers have misidentified it. it is Lower East Side. my uncle lives across the street from where Lyric lived. he is also on the local police precinct community board & used to be the President of his apartment building. he says this is a good neighborhood to live in; that crime is low. we were all shocked that this tragedy happened.
believe me, if neighborhood people knew what was going on between Lyric and her ex-fiance, people who could have helped WOULD HAVE.
I knew Lyric at Yale. She was warm, personable, and sparkled when ever she engaged in conversation. She was always a diva....she had her eye on the brass ring and she knew she could get it. God bless her.
I am still in shock about this terrible tragedy. I remember Lyric in New Haven, when she worked at BAR, and she was so charming and nice. She really stood out from everyone around...she was just lovely. My heart goes out to her family.
Sad that someone losing his gripe on life saw a shining star in the sky, and was not content with having known her. Her inner beauty will shine so long as we stand up against such brutality. I hope she can be my guardian angel, I, who does not get into religious stuff so easily. Lyric Benson, you have stepped onto another much larger stage, so we wait for your performance. Ricardo.
Lyric Benson, you were much to beautiful for this world. You will always be remembered.
I just visited Brooklyn Tabernacle and felt Lyric there. I knew her and her mom when Lyric was a child. She was beautiful in body and spirit then as well. I would love to hear from Deborah, her mom, to tell her how she has been on my mind since that fateful day in 2003.

i am writting this on Nov29th 2006. i am currently in mid production on a documentary about Lyric, the person not the violence of her death. i still need some more interviews from any of Lyrics friends. if you have anything you can offer to the film please contact me at doranart@gmail.com this is a film to celabrate Lyric, not a dramatic beauty and the beast type thing. my deadline for final cut is March 07, thank you...Ray Doran
