neighbors.Middle-schooler and Manhattanite Ruby Markowski wants to

video about the people who live in her building, depicting their love for art,
community, and family. With time--and her options for saving Umbrella House--running

famous East Village artist whose murals once made buildings
famous and valuable. Could finding this enigmatic artist be the key to saving
her historic East Village apartment building?
