Two obits this week about New Yorkers who made this city a better place.
First is Jay Kriegel who was a city government phenom before becoming a real estate developer and creator of multiple civic organization. While never an elected official, his list of accomplishments in bettering the life of this city is outstanding. He devoted his whole life to this city, a real NYC superhero.
The second is Rae Rubinstein who, in the 1970s, was a prolific photographer of the downtown arts and rock'n'roll scene -- Andy Warhol, Waylon Jennings, you name, she shot them. Her photos were fantastic and she lovingly recorded a great time in the city's history
RIP
