Renee: Dear Rabbi Julia Andelman, Let's put aside the talks of misappropriated funds and discussions of amounts of money and man hours it would take to overhaul this cemetery. While I can only...... Ron: Hello again Teri,

Something I didn't mention in my recent long e-mail was one time when I was playing on the Eastern Parkway mall and...... Esther Herschman (Rechtschafner): I like this site very much,especially when people write about PS 167.

This is funny but I do know you. I lived on the first floor. My entrance was a private one where you had to walk up about seven stairs. As you entered......

Mitch Spector: Yep, it's indeed very much GONE. Made one final pass by this morning (November 5th) to check things out and it's not what I saw, but what I didn't see that caught my attention! It's...... Mitch Spector: I took updated photos exactly one week later, on Sunday, October 12th. As they continue to strip away pieces of the building, it's interesting to see what sat hidden underneath the wrap-around sign all those......

The...... Allan: Richie,
I lived in the same building as Judy Oshinsky. I have a few photos of us back around '55-58. She had 2(I think) brothers. On the corner of Schenectidy and Union was a dry cleaner...... Lexxi: Great to know that the legend of Mr. Rufus Rockhead lives on with the naming of the street near Atwater Market, unfortunately most Montrealers have no idea of the history associated with this brilliant man...... nk: This picture is not a picture of the school - and it's sad that you would want to give the impression that the school actually looks like this. This is the back of the school...... Paul Revere: I'm sure you can never receive enough accolades for your photography. Great work. Personally, I've roamed those tunnels repeatedly for the past year.

Hi Norma,
Tradition has it that the city of Adelaide has this Annual Christmas Pageant with these magnificent floats and bands heading the spectacular entrance of Father Christmas and his team of reindeer.

Craig: I had a motorcycle wreck in 1980 coming out of the south side of the tunnel.
Back then the entrance and exit to the tunnel were paved in cobblestone, which is very slippery, especially if wet...... Frank: For the record, there are two entrances open on Sundays.

I'm referring to a quintessential Bushwick...... EvilGentleman: I dunno how terrorism is supposed to be stopped by more guns.

In the third photo, the building complex with the green roofs in the left foreground is Ravenscrag, home of Sir Hugh Allan of Allan Lines Shipping Co. It is sadly......

Robin Majumdar: Great write-up and nice to include the photos as part of the story. I went to Dawson on Saturday with my 3 and 5 year old boys, who placed a small African Violet flowerpot at...... SuziQ: Even better than the place mentioned above is a place close to the subway called "FreezePeach Cafe". It's right on the corner of 29th Street and Ditmars Blvd, but hidden away a little because it's...... raccooned: I was up painting late last night and I looked up and saw what I thought to be one of the feral cats in the neighborhood that several of us feed.

Rick and his brother Ron, Cynthia (now Rick's wife), her best friend Jocelyn, Peter, who was the kid who always threw wild parties...... Sirhcbre: This is the only one of this sort.

The city estimates that 600,000 people use the downtown core each weekday (not counting...... EvilGentleman: Good point, Chris.
