  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett. All right, Well, I want
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: to be very clear, the Historic District Council did not
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: pay for this read. They did not ask me to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: do this. I'm kind of doing this out of my
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: own volition because when I see the name Jeffrey Kressler,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I have a very fond memory of having jeffreyon. I'm
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: having jeffreyon a couple of times at won Lego Alex Media.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Firstly was when during COVID he had a heart attack
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: and he observed on the FDNY EMS team was so
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: diverse and had to write about it in the Daily
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: News and we talk about that, and then we had
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: him on a second time. And as you guys know,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Kresler, Cuning Professor John Jay University, very very historic
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: minded person. Well, the Historic District Council went ahead after
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: his passing, his sad passing actually, and created the Jeffrey
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Kresler Student Research Award. And it's that time of year again.
• 1:02

• 1:06
  Speaker 1: graduate level research on topics relevant to historic preservation in

  Speaker 1: New York City. This research Award will provide emerging preservationists

  Speaker 1: and opportunity to gain public recognition by showcasing their research

• 1:34
  Speaker 1: appears in Preservationists in twenty twenty seven. If you don't know,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the Historic District Council and my mom's an historian, so
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I got very locked into this. They literally go around
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the city and say what can we preserve, what can
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: we landmark.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I've always thought Yankee Stadium's land the original one that
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: opened up nearly one hundred and two years ago now
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: or one hundred and three, should be historic land.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I mean that should be a landmark in and of
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: itself of the original Yankee Stadium space. Maybe we'll get
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: that done eventually. But they go around the city and
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: find out different areas that should be landmarked, and only
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: that they have different meetings about different cases of landmarking
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and preserving really historic parts of the city. So they're
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: asking for those who want to be part of that
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: preservation process to apply for the Jeffrey Kresler Research Award.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: It's now open and we'll close him in May. For
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: questions about the application process, contact Kasia Mendes Brian. Of course,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: they did not ask me to do this. They do

• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I'm just doing this because I really love what Jeffrey
