‘Yes, I read The Villager. It’s always got a lot of good news about the community, what’s going on, the real estate that goes on. You guys are always writing the most important things in New York — like what’s going on with the churches. I think The Villager’s No. 1 in my eyes. The Post brings the general news, The Villager brings the neighborhood news — that’s important. A lot of changes are happening really fast, and we need to know. I should do a big painting that says ‘The Villager,’ like a really big piece — I was thinking of this blue wall at Sixth St. and Avenue C.’
