![]() Just read this from Kathleen Hanna on a Facebook page for naming another park after Yauch (Squibb Park in Brooklyn Heights)
"I tried to write this before but it looks like it didn't work. I just wanted to let you know that Adam "Adrock" Horovitz has already begun working with the Parks Commissioner to fix up and rename State Street Park where Yauch actually played as a kid to 'Adam Yauch Park'. It would be great to get people behind THIS idea as it won't hurt the Squib family and it would be awesome to fix up the bball court there as a tribute....Thanks, Kathleen Hanna (Adrock's wife)" |

![]() Would be cool if it were done by the time we have the fan gathering. I say we should still put this place on our list of Beastie spots to visit though!

![]() This is so great! Way to go Adam and Kathleen.
I'm starting to worry more about Mike. He's become recluse.

![]() @KingPsyz Right! Well whatever Jason decides but either way it is going to be a special place for Beastie fans.
![]() Frank, yes i am going. Mike D might be handling his grieving differently. I hope he is ok too.

![]() so it's State Street now instead of Squibb?
it looks like the entire community of Brooklyn Heights is angling for one while Adam H and Parks and Rec are working on another.

#16

|
||||
![]() Ok I am confused. Are there two parks?
New YAUCHERS help!??
|
#17
|

|

![]() yes. two parks. Kathleen is trying to get people on board Adam's plan instead of the Brooklyn Heights community organizers.
both are good intentions, but it looks like Adam H is working directly with the city while the Squibb is just an idea/petition. but folks like Cey Adams are sharing the Squibb updates and it looks like Kathleen is trying to clear the air. that's what it looks like to me. more info here, where Brooklyn Heights blog supports either idea. http://gothamist.com/2012/05/22/resi...oklyn_park.php

![]() He's always been private. Just because he's not out and about doesn't mean he's not dealing. He'll be fine, and obviously we can only wish him the best during this time.

P.S. I'm with Adrock and Kathleen. I'd vote for the park where he actually played. |

![]() So cool! I also agree with Ad Rock and Kathleen, it would be cool if it could be a park he used to play at as a child.
|

![]() Awesome. Im so happy. He so deserves a park to be named after him and bball was his favorite.
Yauch Park... Love it. Hope its done and dedicated on his Birthday!!!!!!!! Woud be so great to be there for the dedication. Mike D is in LA... Out of reach. Adrock was closer to Adam these past few years. Im so happy he is doing this with Kathleen.

Thats beautiful. I really hope it works Makes me even more sad I wont be able to see it. I want to go to NY so badly, Im completely restricted from it. I'm devastated completely that i'll never make it out there, truly 100% crushed by it. It bothers me every day. I REALLY hope this works out, it would make me SO happy. Adam and Kathleen are meant for each other (:

![]() I love this idea. It's so great that people are doing all these positive, constructive things in Yauch's memory. The sign for the park should be in a fisheye-style.
