New Statue of Liberty Donated to Vox Pop by West Village Restaurant

Soon there will be a new Statue of Liberty gracing the front yard of Vox Pop. Here's a note from Vox Pop manager Debi Ryan:

At last some wonderful news about the Statue of Liberty.  While many offers have come in from all over to replace our statue in one form or another, we have decided to accept the Statue that resided in the garden of the Village restaurant, One If By Land Two If By Sea (www.oneifbyland.com) located at 17 Barrow Street in NYC.  It was the support of one restaurant to another that resonated so strongly.

We are currently working out the details to have our new Lady transported here to Cortelyou Road and building the right base to display her properly and keep her secure.  We are also making plans to refit her with a solar powered torch so that she can once again illuminate our neighborhood and serve as a beacon for freedom and democracy.

As soon as we have an exact date, I will let you all know.  We plan to hold a rally of unity to welcome her to her new home.  This is truly a cause for both reflection and celebration and any and all input is welcome and encouraged.

Our sincerest thanks to everyone for your ongoing support and love during this long and interesting journey.
