In a reply: mizcarlettny reminded people of the move of the Board of Ed... moved from JoralemonSt., in Brooklyn to the old Tweed Courthouse building, across the street from the Muni Archives. In the 1990's after a Big Onion Walk around the 5 points area, City Hall and up to Old St.Patrick's Cathedral we learned a little tidbit about the Tweed Courthouse Building. Corruption was on a grand scale. The carpeting ordered for that little building would have covered Central Park, You probably have seen the building many times on the "Law and Order" program that has run for years. I just checked on Google and Big Onion Walking tours are still in operation. Our Tour Guide was a NYU Graduate History PhD. student. They are still in operation. It was a great tour of the Irish Area. http://www.bigonion.com/schedule/ Pauline Salmon San Diego
