It's the 20th Anniversary of the Tompkins Square Park riots, which gives East Village/Lower East Side activist John Penley?organizer and chief mouthpiece of the recent "Die Hard Yuppie Scum" protests?a whole new platform for stickin' it to the man. He tells amNewYork: "We are trying to start the uprising again. We are trying to create some kind of resistance to the real estate developers. It's the same as '88. Tensions are up." N.B.: All Curbed employees will be dressed in vintage Reagan Youth T-shirts to mark the anniversary. [amNY]
