Save The Marx Brothers Home
179 E. 93rd Street, NYC, where the Marx Brothers spent their formative years, is at risk of being torn down by developers. Please sign the petition to save the building.
For more information, see this article at the New York Times.
What a disaster! It can't be done! I've signed the petition (twice - I took the liberty of using my boyfriend's name also), and I will write about this on my next blog post to get more to sign!
Nice blog, by the way. Found it via Matthew Coniam. Keep up the good work!
The Marx Brothers blog is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the greatest comedy team of the twentieth century.
We will endeavor through seemingly random postings to honor Marx family values of absurdity, chaos, and irreverence.
This blog is an offshoot of the author's original blog, Lugubrious Drollery. One of the most popular posts there has been "Lydia the Tattooed Lady Revealed," which serves as the inaugural post in the current blog.

That is terrible news. I'll definitely have to sign the petition. This is my first time at your blog. I love it. I'm a big fan of the Marx Brothers.

Oh yes, he's very nice! But he won't stop driving me around the country and making stops at weird motels... Drives me crazy.
