I keep seeing decorated rocks around Bay Ridge. I saw one on a crossing light while I was on my way to work the other day. I didn’t pick it up because it looked like they may have been placed in the spot for as part of a scavenger hunt or something like that. […]
Sunday, January 8th, 2017NY’ers Jump In When Needed
This happened in front of us while we were stopped at a light. These fantastic NY’ers jumped in to help seconds after the bike rider who was hit. Don’t worry we called 911. We took the pic while we were waiting for the pickup.
Saturday, January 7th, 2017When Retro is Just the Junk Your Mom Threw Away Years Ago
