I live in the Annex neighbourhood in downtown Toronto and just a few blocks over from Jane Jacobs' Albany St. home. We started a neighbourhood Book of Condolence which anyone can sign, it's at Dooney's Cafe on Bloor, but because you all are in New York, you can leave any messages of condolence or just share a memory at the Jane Jacobs online memorial weblog here: http://www.JaneJacobs.TYO.ca The Book and all the online messages will be forwarded to her family. Thanks.

Every time you walk anywhere below 14th Street, say a silent prayer of thanks to Jane Jacobs. Without her efforts, lower Manhattan would have been bisected by one of Robert Moses's highways and it would have ended up much like the south Bronx, which is just now beginning to recover from the building of the Cross-Bronx Expressway. Too bad there's no Jane Jacobs around to save us from the urban blight that the Meatpacking District has become.

What a great picture... a brew and a smoke on a stool in the White Horse (which was around the corner from her apartment). I know she lived in Toronto since '69, but Jane Jacobs was a true New Yorker. RIP.
