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.

The latest in the Levi Aron case……Levi Aron’s cat was taken out of the home. Why would the police remove the cat from Levi Aron’s home? Maybe they are looking to see if Levi lured Leiby with the cat and the cat may have prints or dna on him? An eight count indictment against Levi […]
Thursday, July 21st, 2011Leibby Kletzky’s Parents & Family

They walked around their block at 6:00 a.m to symbolize escorting the soul to its resting place. I’m sure Leibby’s parents have been going through hell since their son went missing on 7/11. Leibby […]
