I would be interested in knowing more about Limbo's relationship with the Fillmore East and Andy Warhol's Ballon Farm. ( Bosalino ( talk) 17:33, 28 April 2011 (UTC))
Looking for someone to help me clean up the Limbo boutique St. Marks Place page. I think there is something of value in the history of the Store and its importance to St. Marks Place during the 1960s. More information will be found that will add value to the site, but in the meantime, I need help keep the page up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bosalino ( talk • contribs) 02:04, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
I am currently working with some friend to fix article to accommodate Wikipedia's expectations. Any help would be deeply appreciated Bosalino ( talk) 21:55, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
This page should not be speedy deleted because... -- Bosalino ( talk) 04:06, 9 May 2011 (UTC) LImbo is a lost cultural institution that deserves to be recognized as part of vanishing New York City. The store's influence in the period of the 1960's can not be contested, nor its lasting influence on contemporary fashion, see recent interview/profile of Tommy Hilfiger in May 1, 2011 New York Post. With recent books on comparable institutions and individuals such as Max's Kansas City and Patti Smith;s book, Just Kids, there is a revival about New York City's recent history—even as the City is becoming an increasingly generic global city dominated by national and international brands.
I am currently seeking help to see that the page conforms to Wikipedia style and content requirements. I expect in the following days to have mistakes corrected and new information added, including visual elements that will confirm Limbo's importance in New York's popular culture. To deny Limbo a presence on Wikipedia would be a disservice to everyone interested in knowing more about the City in general, and about the "creation" of the East Village in particular.
There are currently a number of writers (myself included) and cultural historians who are watching, with no small amount of sadness, as unique places and people, who once defined of the City, are being excluded from its history. Toward that end, the Limbo entry will give social/cultural historians a place that will provide various points of departure to interconnected topics including, but not limited to New York City fashion, rock & roll, and popular culture that originated in one neighborhood in New York and then spread first nationally and then globally.

As I add links and new information that add value to the page, I would appreciate some help fixing obvious problems with style/content usage. Bosalino ( talk) 17:05, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
My Ken, I very much I appreciate your help and will, with the help of others, address the issue of "essential" notability. Although the store was open for only ten years, its impact on fashion, and by extension, popular culture far exceeds its relative longevity. One has to imagine a place where on a given day Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Jimi Hendrix, Allen Ginsberg and John Lennon might be at the store at the same time. It was a place where my thesis advisor (at The New School) told me that "the first three times he met Andy Warhol was at Limbo." As for the Picture, you added, I thank you for that but plan to add an original photos from the Times and other publications, once I figure out how to place an image. Enough for now except to thank you again, and to promise that I will continue to try to demonstrate why this "cultural institution" mustn't be allowed to slip from our grasp. Bosalino ( talk) 02:29, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
My Ken, I just read through your revision and want to thank you again for your help. Also, I'm beginning to better understand how the site functions, for example the use of "references." It was very kind of you and much appreciated. Bosalino ( talk) 02:33, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
If it seems as if I'm trying to scare you off from adding a non-free image, that is not the case. I've dealt with the problem of getting non-free images into articles, and I've won a few and lost many. I just want to give you an idea of what you're getting into. Best, Beyond My Ken ( talk) 03:10, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
My Ken, Thank you again for your offer to help, I will drop some images in Wikipedia Commons and also contact you with the images I'd like to use. (Since they were taken in the 1960s, they may fall under "fair use" doctrine. Bosalino ( talk) 19:04, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
Just wante to make sure I wasn't misleading you. Beyond My Ken ( talk) 19:10, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
Thank you again for the guidance. I'll confirm with Marty that he owns the art—the pointing hand logo he owns. The others I'll check. -- Bosalino ( talk) 17:38, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
