I never got a chance to weigh in on my reaction to Patricof saying that Harlem River was not an active site. After all the excitement and speculation and discussion after the RPIE became public, it was kind of a let down. But perhaps it should have been seen as positive.
All that excitement was appropriate on finding out that the Club had put in a real proposal for a site that would be terrific. What Patricof said is that there are 2-3 other sites that are "active" - meaning there is more going on with them than there is with Harlem River. That's actually pretty good news, and hopefully thing will start rolling downhill with one soon (or perhaps already is). Fingers crossed.
