I love looking at trees in the Fall.
Wednesday, November 5th, 2008Bloomberg Tax Your Cronies!
So after experiencing a wonderful evening where the first black American was elected president, I have to hear about Mayor Bloomberg’s budget cuts and tax hikes for NYC residents. Yet, Ratner and big businesses will be getting huge tax breaks. Since Ratner will have federal tax breaks, I am sure he wouldn’t mind a city […]
Friday, October 24th, 2008Christine Quinn
Christine Quinn, NYC council did what she today because she was caught dirty before. Let us all not forget her slush fund scandal. Quinn never had a chance at becoming mayor so she did what she could to help herself. She will need to work under Bloomberg because no one will forget her mishandling of […]
Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008NYC Take Action – Call your Councilman or Woman
I’m hoping that City Council votes against term limits tomorrow! Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island and Manhattan let your councilman know that this matters to you! Call or fax them! So I called Councilman Gentile. I’ve know Mr. Gentile for a long time and he is a very respectable man. I’ve always seen him go […]
Saturday, October 18th, 2008Cronyism in Brooklyn?
From the Brooklyn Paper: “The Brooklyn Paper showed that Markowitz’s Best of Brooklyn reaped hefty contributions from Ratner; his company, Forest City Ratner; its executives; and subsidiaries. All told, the donations have been between $680,000 and $1 million since 2003 — the year Ratner unveiled Atlantic Yards, which has enjoyed unbending support from Markowitz.” Sellout […]
Friday, October 17th, 2008Justice for Nixzmary Brown in Brooklyn
Tonight in Brooklyn, justice was served. Nixzmary Brown’s mother, Nixzaliz Santiago,was found guilty. I am crying (see tonight I have some tears). These are tears of relief as I remember years ago, Hedda Nussbaum served no time in jail as she claimed Joel Steinberg abused and killed their six year old adopted daughter, Lisa Steinberg. […]

Fall is one of my favorite seasons. I love the holidays, the getting back to school feeling and of course the beautiful trees. It’s been a good three day weekend.
Saturday, October 11th, 2008Late Night at Target
Karen and I left here at 8:45 pm. We were at Target at 9:10pm (exit 15 on the Belt Parkway). Target is open until 10:00 pm. We had the most relaxing time at Target because it was basically empty. If you love Target, try going at night when no one is there – it is […]
Thursday, October 9th, 2008Germs – Yuck
The teachers at my school wanted to encourage students to do more community service, so we are all doing a service project with our homeroom. Our students and their families are always so generous when we have food drives and other collections. Yet, we wanted Since they are middle school students, it’s a good idea […]
Sunday, October 5th, 2008Bay Ridge Bank Doesn’t Know the Law
2014 Update: If you need a Notary in Bay Ridge click here Yesterday, I went to get a document notarized. I drove on 3rd Avenue looking for an attorney’s office, drug store or bank. I stopped at several places that advertised they had a notary, but the notary is only in on Monday – […]
Thursday, October 2nd, 2008Vets in Brooklyn – Dyker Heights & Park Slope
I saw these two sweet dogs sitting outside the Animal Kind. I am lucky to live in an area of Brooklyn where there are two fine pet clinics. I highly recommend St. Francis Animal Hospital on 73rd Street and 13th Avenue. The clinic was started by two vets who were friends, Dr. Steven Brigande & […]
Sunday, September 28th, 2008Three Guys from Brooklyn
This is the fruit and veggie store, Three Guys from Brooklyn located on Fort Hamilton Parkway and 65th Street in Brooklyn. It’s a pretty popular store because their slogan is Three Guys from Brooklyn – the Poor People’s Friends. Everyone wants to get their produce at a discounted price. Today, when we […]
