Some Of The Harlem News That's Fit To Click: Columbia Gets A Boourns Edition

Yikes, not only did Columbia get booed, but so did David Dinkins as the "community loudly, rudely and disrespectfully declared their independence from the Harlem political establishment." [New York Press]

And it seems police had to keep as many as a hundred Columbia opponents outside when the venue reached capacity. [WYNC]

In his comments for the record, CB9 chair Jordi Reyes-Montblanc supported the idea that both sides would have to give on certain issues and compromise was desirable. "The community must get over its suspicion and dread of the Columbia expansion and Columbia must overcome the feelings that they know better what is good for West Harlem and our people," he wrote. [Columbia Spectator]

And lastly, a fair review of last night's meeting from the Times. [NYT / City Room]
