SoHo NYC Has A Unique History
On April 10 1968 Jane Jacobs “The Mother Of SoHo”was charged with rioting, inciting a riot, committing criminal mischief and obstructing public administration. This was later reduced to disorderly conduct to which she pleaded guilty. Her actions kick-started the public objections and the artists residing in the areas formed the
