Staten Island & The Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge: Chaos Comes to a Community

Staten Island & The Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge: Chaos Comes to a Community

Join us on Saturday, February 21 at 1 PM for a book launch and discussion featuring Pat Salmon's latest book, Staten Island & The Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge: Chaos Comes to a Community. With the opening of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge in 1964, Staten Island was changed forever. Sewers, schools, roadways, and borough natives were not prepared for the transformation that was at hand. Houses were built and bought quickly. Schools scrambled to find seats for thousands of arriving students. The antiquated sewer system could not handle the overload and there simply wasn't enough room for all of the septic tanks needed. Who were the allies or adversaries of development? Who sought to make a meaningful plan for the future? Patricia Salmon examines the preparation, design, and opening of "The Bridge," and its immediate impact on the citizens of Staten Island. 

Books will be for sale at $24.99 plus tax. Please arrive 10 minutes before the start of the program.

Bowling Night

Did you know that Sailors’ Snug Harbor had its own bowling alley for the resident sailors?

In that tradition, we have partnered with the Seamen’s Society for Children and Families and Emma's Place-Staten Island Grief and Loss Center for Children and Families, for a bowling night!

Every dollar raised will be double matched as all three organizations are recipients of the Staten Island Foundation's Diamond Matching Grant! Proceeds from the event will be split evenly among the three nonprofits.
