My friend had to have some tests done at Quest Diagnostics in Bay Ridge – 7601 4th Avenue 718-833-2354. They wouldn’t let her make an appointment over the phone for the test for some reason. My friend read the reviews and said she wanted to go very early in the morning because the reviews […]
Thursday, March 7th, 2013John Quaglione – Bay Ridge
When I saw last week’s Brooklyn Paper, the ‘Twitter’ story caught my attention. I recognized the names involved, but I don’t know either man that well. As I read the story, I was annoyed that these two men argued over the littlest thing: Quaglione’s garbage and recyclying weren’t picked up. Now of course that is not […]

In 1985, I met Lisette Torres through a few friends. She was a beautiful girl and she laughed a lot. Lisette attended OLPH high school where my friends also went. When she was 19 years old, she was found dead on the street on New Years Day. I hadn’t spoken to Lisette in over a […]
Tuesday, July 17th, 2012Jeremy Lin is a True New Yorker
Jeremy Linn is a talented player on the NY Knicks basketball team. I know a lot about him because my students love him. I mean they love him A LOT. So they are pretty sad to see that he will be heading to the Houston Rockets Team. Linn signed a deal with the Rockets for […]

Monday, September 26th, 2011It isn’t always easy to see past the rain…
When it rains, people in Brooklyn usually complain and moan. Yet, I love the rain and the moments right after it stops raining. I love how everything grows and the world looks a little bit cleaner. Sara died Saturday. She was a beautiful woman (two years my junior). Everyone keeps saying that she’s at peace, has […]
Thursday, July 21st, 2011Applause for the Shomrim in Borough Park
After the tragedy of Leibby Kletzky, people are looking for answers or someone to blame. Yet, the men in Borough Park who form the Shomrim patrol, a volunteer civilian patrol should receive credit for the extensive search they did for Liebby. Shomrim is the Hebrew word for ‘guardian.’ The Shomrim in Borough Park are an exceptional […]
