Mr. Allen:

Are any of the research librarians involved particularly expert
on/interested in the history of the City of New York?

At the risk of being rude, I find this NY History list almost totally
devoted to upstate, with virtually no questions -- or answers -- about the
City.

Or have I failed to ask the kind of questions that interest our City experts?
