	Christopher Street Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Christopher St. merchants foresee more closures
		He felt that the closures were because of the lack of popularity the street was suffering.
		David Wong, manager of McNulty’s Tea and Coffee Company at 109 Christopher St., disagreed that a decline in the street’s fortunes is the reason for the recent closures.
		Another factor worrying the street’s merchants is the Port Authority’s plan to add another PATH station exit on the street.

	CHRISTOPHER PARK - Historical Sign
		With the widening of Seventh Avenue and the construction of the IRT subway line in 1910, Greenwich Village became divided between the working-class neighborhood to the west and an artistic, Bohemian community to the east.
		Tension developed among various groups in the Christopher Street area as the population of Greenwich Village began to decline in the 1940s.
		The restoration of Christopher Park was initiated in 1983 by the Friends of Christopher Park, a community volunteer group organized in the late 1970s to maintain and beautify the park.

	Where do New York City street names come from? Here's the answer.
		Canal Street: Located in the “Little Italy” section of Manhattan, Canal Street got its name from a canal that was built in the beginning of the 19th century to drain heavily polluted ponds.
		Christopher Street: This street in Manhattan's Greenwich Village section was named after a man named Charles Christopher Amos, who owned the land in the late 1700s now inhabited by the street.
		Wall Street: The famous home of the New York Stock Exchange and other financial institutes was named after, believe it or not, a wall built by the Dutch in the 1600s around Manhattan Island to keep out invaders.

		But for all the variations in its streets, this is basically an upscale neighborhood, increasingly dominated by families drawn to the district's excellent schools.
		A decade ago, the famous basketball court on Sixth Avenue and 3rd Street was the object of local fury because of the racially mixed crowd that gathered there, and some residents poured olive oil on the court in order to retard its use.

	Queer History
		While the riots at the Stonewall Inn on Greenwich Village's Christopher Street seem carved in stone as the birth of the gay liberation movement, the event might not be remembered in quite the same way had it not been for the commemorative march and rally organized a year later.
		But without the Christopher Street Liberation Day Committee, "Stonewall" probably wouldn't be any better known than the "Annual Reminder" demonstrations held yearly on the Fourth of July outside Independence Hall.
		For five years, between 1965 and 1969, activists from throughout the country gathered outside Independence Hall, where the U.S. Constitution was drafted and signed, to remind the nation that not all of its citizens had equal rights under the law.

		The street pattern of the Village is largely the same as it was in the late 1700s-early 1800s with crooked cart paths better suited for foot traffic than automobiles.
		Greenwich Street meanders to the northeast and northwest because it was originally the westernmost street and followed the Hudson riverbank.
		This street was originally named for Richard Amos, who owned a parcel of land formerly belonging to the vast estate of Sir Peter Warren, which stretched from Christopher Street north to 21st Street west and north of what would become Washington Square Park.

		Nowadays the gay community is much more a part of Greenwich Village life, indeed for most the Village would seem odd without it, and from here down to the Hudson is a tight-knit enclave – focusing on Christopher Street – of bars, restaurants and bookstores used specifically, but not exclusively, by gay men.
		The scene along the Hudson River itself, along and around West Street and the river piers, is considerably raunchier at night.
		But on this far east stretch of Christopher, things crack off with the accent less on sex, more on a camp kind of humor.

		Other corners where people gathered to cheer were, sadly, empty within weeks of the tragedy but Christopher Street has remained a strong and magnetic center for people who want to show their gratitude and give something back to the tireless workers.
