Go See the Sights

   Reading SI Live this morning I came across this great bit of news. Tomorrow numerous historic Island places will be open for tours.  It's part of a citywide event sponsored by the Historic House Trust of New York City.
   While the usual suspects (Alice Austen, Snug Harbor, Conference House, etc) will be open, so will places like Port Richmond Reform Church and Christ Church on Franklin Avenue.  Fortunately the tours will continue on Sunday.  So, while I have to work tomorrow, I can go the following day.  Go check some of these places out.  Maybe I'll see you there.
