The old New York Aquarium in the process of demolition, 1941.
Opened in 1896, it was described as having "a pungent and warm blend of age and familiarity and long affection and human scale, of busts of old singers and the flash of bright fish, of gloomy corners where one could neck with one's date, of being easy to get to and free, so that people could simply walk in as if it belonged to them." Robert Moses disagreed. He called it "an ugly wart on the main axis leading straight to the Statue of Liberty."
But he really wanted it gone to satisfy his imperial ambitions: a bridge on the site (Castle Clinton in Battery Park). When that plan was frustrated, he tried for a tunnel. He got neither. But the building was torn down, the animals and fish given to facilities in other cities, and the sea lions, temporarily, to the Bronx Zoo. Fourteen years later, another aquarium was built at Coney Island, but unlike the original, which was free, it charged a pretty high entrance fee. In his biography of Moses, The Power Broker (from which the description above of the old aquarium was taken), Robert Caro called the new aquarium Moses's revenge for not getting his bridge.

The Advantages of Security Guard Booths in NYC
In the hustling metropolis of New York City, security is a paramount concern. As businesses and public spaces grapple with the challenge of maintaining a safe environment, the installation of security guard booths emerges as a strategic solution.
Visible Deterrence:
• Security guard booths serve as a visible deterrent to potential threats. Their presence alone signals a commitment to safety, dissuading individuals with malicious intentions and creating a sense of security for residents, employees, and visitors.
Prompt Response:
• Strategically placed guard booths enable security personnel to respond rapidly to emerging situations. This quick response time is crucial in detaining suspects, mitigating risks, and ensuring the overall safety of the premises.
Surveillance Hub:
• Equipped with state-of-the-art surveillance technology, guard booths serve as surveillance hubs. They provide a centralized vantage point for monitoring CCTV cameras, sensors, and alarms, enhancing the effectiveness of security systems.
Access Control:
• Security guard booths act as control points for access to facilities. Trained guards can verify identities, check credentials, and manage the flow of individuals, preventing unauthorized entry and safeguarding sensitive areas.
Emergency Assistance:
• In times of emergencies, guard booths serve as essential points of contact. Security personnel can swiftly coordinate responses, guide evacuations, and liaise with emergency services, contributing to a more organized and efficient crisis management process.
Customer Assurance:
• Businesses that prioritize security demonstrate a commitment to the well-being of their customers and employees. The visible presence of guard booths fosters trust, reassuring stakeholders that safety is a top priority.
Crime Prevention:
• Proactive security measures, including guard booths, contribute to crime prevention. By deterring criminal activity and facilitating swift responses, these structures play a crucial role in reducing the incidence of theft, vandalism, and other security threats.
In the dynamic urban landscape of NYC, the advantages of security guard booths extend beyond conventional security measures. They symbolize a commitment to creating secure environments, promoting public confidence, and fortifying the foundations of a safer, thriving community.

Exploring NYC: Castle Clinton, September 2023
(With a BONUS Penguin Pool Murder Connection!)
Just in case you've never heard of the 1932 murder/mystery/comedy film called Penguin Pool Murder, here's a link to the post where I went into a lot of detail (some might say too much!) about this funny and weird movie. Anyway, this movie used the New York Aquarium as a filming location. But back in 1932, the aquarium had not yet moved to its current location in Coney Island. In the 1930s, it was still located in a building that had been rebuilt and repurposed several times over many years.
Today we know that building as Castle Clinton, and I decided to make it one of my staycation destinations last week, just to create more Tumblr content for YOU.
You're welcome!!!
If you're visiting Castle Clinton today, it's more than likely that you're there because you want to buy tickets to visit the Statue of Liberty, since that's the main function of this place now. Castle Clinton doesn't look fancy or special today. It basically looks like a donut made out of stone, with a big empty space inside that contains a booth for buying tickets and a small gift shop. But if you look around, you'll see some small exhibits that explain the history of this place.
Let me start by sharing the pictures that I took last week, and then we can look into some historical highlights ...
FUN FACT: Years ago, I read that Jenny Lind, "The Swedish Nightingale," performed for thousands of people at a place called Castle Garden (which would one day be transformed into the aquarium, and later into Castle Clinton). That is one of the many useless pieces of trivia that's been rattling around in my brain for years. It's so embedded in my mind that if you asked me what I had for dinner last night, I might or might not remember, but if you ask me about Castle Garden or Castle Clinton, I WILL REMEMBER that Jenny Lind "The Swedish Nightingale" once sang there!
Anyway, I know that I promised some more Penguin Pool Murder pictures of the aquarium in 1932, so here you go:
WHERE TO LEARN MORE INFORMATION AND FIND MORE COOL PICTURES:
One of the best overviews I've found of the history of Castle Clinton is this page from the National Park Service website. It gives a great overview of the building's history over the past 200-plus years (Southwest Battery / Castle Garden as an entertainment center and then as an immigrant landing depot / New York City Aquarium / Castle Clinton).
Here's a short video from the National Park Service about the history of the aquarium, which shows lots of interior shots ... including several from Penguin Pool Murder!!!
You can also find more information and pictures through the Manhattan Historic Sites Archive!
In conclusion, when you think about Castle Clinton, remember that it has very deep roots in over two hundred years of history. So, when you think about Castle Clinton from now on, you should really visualize something more like THIS!
