RadioOnFire.com - Three Manhattan high-rises were given a slight makeover on Wednesday, November 16, when a construction crew stripped the buildings of their "Trump Place" moniker.
Each edifice of the 140, 160, and 180 Riverside Boulevard condominium complex has assumed it's plain address in favor of the president-elect's name, as the result of a residents' petition drive. "We are assuming a more neutral building identity that will appeal to all current and future residents," Marty McKenna, of manager/owner Equity Residential, told the press about the decision. Video of workers carving the golden letters off of the mid-town building's facade has gone viral on the internet, lending a moral victory to protesters of the 45 President's election.
Over 600 people reportedly signed the Change.org petition. The drive was initiated by residents Linda Gottlieb, Robert Tessler and Brian Dumont, who have put out a statement that reads, "Our home is our most personal private space, a building we should feel proud of and happy to walk into every day... so... THE TIME HAS COME TO DUMP TRUMP."
