          Wow, that's quite a statement for our little museum list:
 
         (Paraphrasing) The old Museum of the American Indian at 155th
          and Broadway wasn't in the best neighborhood.!!!!
 
          As a New Yorker, I'll agree that it was a challenge to get
          people to come to 155th street, and even harder to get
          funders to fund. BUT! Its a great loss to the City's sense
          of itself if that's why the Museum is being moved to the
          Customs house, and its very depressing to see part of this
          city which is Hispanic and African American, and not rich
          (though also not incredibly poor) so casually dismissed.
