They are migrating north with their calves this time of year. Our neighbor saw one breaching right near the light house point just 2 weeks ago when they were up there. She said it was a most awesome birthday present! I will thanks. 🙂 It is pretty wild right now with that strong wind blowing off the ocean for the last few days. Does make the white water dramatic when it crashes inland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy the rest of your stay. You are in a beautiful area! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember what the area around 42nd street used to be like? Many areas in NYC have been yuppified,Harlem in Manhattan,Bushwick,Bed Stuy and Crown Heights in Brooklyn.

I call my 95 year old mom daily, she lives in Denver. My parents were paying $110.00 a month for an apartment in Brooklyn that is now part of a condo selling for $875,000.

I grew up on Grand St. in the Hillman Housing complex about 3 blocks from the East River. I googled Harris Levy. It's on Forsyth St. I don't recall shopping on that street.

Rare A&L_Ont Posted May 10, 2021 #15962 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) I did a drive by birthday for someone I know who turned 90 today. Along the way the ground was warm enough to steam against the cold air. Our local community is also having a sign war. This was our landscaper’s response to the Golf Course and Country Club.

Rare Momof3gurlz Posted May 10, 2021 #15968 Share Posted May 10, 2021 It’s finally done. Took longer than expected because of the rocky soil around here. DH had to resort to pulling out the jackhammer for several of the post holes. We chose white vinyl fence along the front edge, where the driveway is, for privacy. Next up is fence around the mechanicals, landscaping & outdoor furniture. We may end up with bargain basement stuff this year as shopping at the patio furniture stores has taught me that everything is on back order, due to pandemic mfg’ing delays 🤷🏻♀️. Here are a few pictures of the process, from tree removal last June to now. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never put a ladder at our stair edge, but one day we could. Did you use the large rocks dug from the pool, to make a line along the back edge of of the bush? Some plastic furniture for this year could work well and can be extra chairs and table for next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
