The unique entertainment trio that is Blue Man Group has grossed millions of dollars since its inception in 1991. Now, they want to entertain and educate NYC children … in their own school. They’ve opened a private elementary school in Manhattan’s East Village to stimulate creative thinking. Children will be encouraged to take risks with the philosophy that what they learn is more important than how they learn it. They’ll employ several of their unique effects to achieve their goals. But it will take means to meet these ends. Tuition begins at $27,300 for kindergarten and first grade students. Parents will need green for their kids to be blue.IMPORTANT NOTE: This blog is a quick comment on an older New York City news headline. Unforeseen NYCo website development delays prevented it’s publication before now. For readership continuity, 100’s of older headlines are to be posted in chronological order until this blog is current. Though some of the stories may no longer be as relevant as they once were, they remain interesting news items worthy of this site’s mention and viewer comments.

In Manhattan’s East Village on Marks Place, the very popular Kim’s Video store is up for immediate sale. As video rentals and sales decline, the store’s owner, Youngman Kim, has decided to skip the business by January, 2009. He insists that a new owner must buy his entire 55,000 videotape collection and continue his policy of only charging an inexpensive membership fee. It’s hard to believe he’ll find an interested buyer with those requirements. The wide availability of movies on the Internet and declining sales can't help his cause, either. Kim was a very successful New York City entrepreneur. Sadly for him, he should have seen this day coming many years ago. Let’s hope a local library or community group can reach a deal with Kim soon. Film students and movie nostalgia buffs should be able to enjoy this diverse collection long into the future.
