Bank of America you have been my bank for 15 years. I’m not a millionaire, but my account is a sizeable amount. I always thought I would get a mortgage with you. Yet, I called customer service today to ask questions and the service reprentative told me to go and fill out the form online. I hung up and called […]
Saturday, May 30th, 2009House Bidding
We bid on a great house this week. We haven’t won the bid and I don’t know if we will. It’s just a stressful process and I wish I was up to the part where we were moving into our new home. I mean I love the house, but I don’t feel like being part […]

Friday, May 8th, 2009Better Houses Coming on the Brooklyn Market
I’ve been very excited to see that better houses are coming on the market now that it is Springtime in the city! We’re looking at a few this weekend with a friend. I’m not sure open houses are the best way to find a house in Brooklyn because usually the open house is a home […]
Sunday, April 19th, 2009The most amazing day!
It’s 4:03 am and I don’t want to go to sleep because I have had one of the most amazing days. I GOT SO MUCH DONE AND HAD SUCH A GOOD TIME! The day started with coffee from the drive through shop on 65th Street and 13th Avenue (the most amazing coffee in Brooklyn) and […]
Wednesday, February 25th, 2009Marty Markowitz – Do You Know How To Use Money?
Before someone runs for office, they should show that they know how to spend and save money. The Brooklyn Paper recently brought to our attention filings that were posted on the Campaign Finance Board website. The writer brought forth that Brooklyn Borough President, Marty Markowitz spent almost $6,000 (yes, SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS) on chocolates. Yes, […]
Monday, February 23rd, 2009Bay Ridge Housing Market Just Fell
I know a lot of Bay Ridge realtors think the Bay Ridge Real Estate Market can hold onto $799,000+ homes, but the truth is the market is at 7114 – the way the market was over 12 years ago. There’s no way million dollar homes in Bay Ridge are going to sell. $600,000 homes, YES!
Friday, January 9th, 2009Sweet Day of a Brooklyn Teacher
All the classes in my school are doing community service projects each month. My class wanted to clean litter from the street/parks in Brooklyn, but it’s chilly and I wanted an indoor activity! So I asked if anyone had a family member in the military. One of my students had a brother in the army in […]
Wednesday, December 24th, 2008Giving Back in the New Year
Jessica Knows is having a fantastic giveaway for $300 ($150 for you and $150 for a food pantry of your choice). I loved to win this giveaway particularly because I would love to get some food for The Reaching Out Community Center, a Brooklyn food pantry. I should have done this already, but like many […]
Monday, December 22nd, 2008Christmas Music fills this Brooklyn Street
Sometime in January or February last year, CVS or Rite Aid had a 90% off sale for Christmas. I purchased this Christmas music and light machine. You plug your lights in this box and they dance to the beat of 20 different songs. This morning around 10:00 am, I ran outside and plugged it in […]
Sunday, December 14th, 2008Bay Ridge Home Prices Down
The economy keeps plummeting and now Brooklyn home prices are finally falling! Our Bay Ridge homeowners can no longer call for the $750,000 single family or $900,000+ multi family homes. We’re in a recession and no one is buying! I go to a lot of Bay Ridge & Dyker Heights Open Houses and it’s nice […]
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008Justice for Nixzmary Brown in Brooklyn
The mother of Nixzmary Brown was sentenced to 40 1/3 years to 43 years. Nixzaliz Santiago claimed that she was an abused woman and tried to get off from this sentencing. Yet, the court found that she should have protected Nixzmary and could have prevented her death. Tears flow down my cheeks – sadness because […]
