Keith Bernstein: I would like to add some comments about Mrs. Ida Gradstein. I thought her to be an effective teacher and a sweet lady. The mention of her name brought back some memories of my sixth grade class at PS 167 in 1958-59. Unless I have the wrong date (Teri, you'll have...

in response to Best Costco Moment of 2008

Mime: This is right across the road from an Irish pub I used to frequent and across from the Marina.

They moved a heritage listed old Queenslander-style backpackers' building and closed the mens' hostel down to...

zagg: If I remember (I re-looked once, and I'll check again next time I'm there) the brick has actually been spray painted to look like that. I go to the diner (Cromwell Restaurant) across the street often, maybe a revist photo is in order.
