Wednesday, April 20th, 2011Would You Buy a House Where there was a Murder?
I would….in a heartbeat…if the house is beautiful. And in this case it is. 21 Howard Place in Park Slope was recently sold (asking price 1.29 million). Four months ago it was the crime scene where 31 year old Ryan Devaney stabbed his mother and father. Devaney then ran into the subway and jumped on […]
Tuesday, April 19th, 2011DEP visits my home
We received a large post card explaining that the DEP was installing AMRs (automated meter reading) devices in our area, Bay Ridge – Brooklyn. These devices make it possible to see your water usage online. It also allows them to give an accurate, rather than estimated bill because no one needs to visit the property […]
Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011Fire and Ice
I was singing angsty teenage songs with a friend tonight. When I was a teenager, I sang Fire and Ice by James Taylor to this guy, Chris C. And because I was such a dramatic and angsty teen, I would be bawling, red-faced and full tears by the end of this song. Yup, I was […]

After visiting Fairway Market in Red Hook, we saw the signs for Steve’s Authentic Key Lime Pie. We followed the signs to Pier 41 and headed inside to get our pie. Inside the old warehouse is a sectioned off area for a counter to sell pies. You know the pies are good when that’s all […]
Thursday, February 17th, 2011Miss Brooklyn is a Role Model
When people think of beauty pageants, I think they usually think of women who are obsessed with their looks and themselves. Today, Miss Brooklyn, Christina Moore visited my school to talk with the students. Of course she was enthusiastic and cheerful, but I was surprised at how down-to-earth and such a positive role model she was […]
Thursday, January 27th, 2011RIP Mr. T.
The kids knew him as Mr. T. When I was a young teacher at a brand new school, Mr. T. was one of the teachers who welcomed me. He was a young teacher with a ‘happy-go-lucky’ attitude and so full of life. I distinctly remember him coming into a room, telling a joke and everyone laughing […]

One day I walked into Nine West in Brooklyn Heights. I asked to see a cute pair of shoes. The salesclerk went to the back of the store and came back with several boxes. She told me that they didn’t have my size in the shoe, but she brought me a larger size, as well […]

We took a ride to Astoria to see Build It Green NYC. If you are a new homeowner or you are remodeling, you have to check this place out to purchase recycled building materials. They had beautiful solid wood doors. They also had recycled furniture, flooring, moldings, baseboards, cabinets, old stoves, appliances, sinks, lighting and […]
Friday, July 30th, 2010CitySearch Negative Review Removed
I posted a review on CitySearch.com of an insurance company in Brooklyn which we dealt with last summer (review was here). This company’s office gave us a very hard time and the review was negative to warn others that there is a problem with communication in this office. We had seen one sparkling review of […]
