We did everything a modern Metropolitan couple could do. We lived on the river, we had season tickets with the......

Bea K.: Lou Romero, Upfromflames, all: I've heard so much about "white flight" just about all my life, that I honestly don't think that 'term' will 'ever' go away, how sad it that?

Peter: This is a tale explaining the manner in which my way of life was rotated along a Y axis until it reached a position roughly 180 degrees from that which it started If I could...... Who Cares for Kensingtion: OG FROM GCC, Good piece! Take it back 1 block at a time. All in a given block may not participate, but those that do should stick together and clean it from end to end...and...... Outside the box...: When you hear and see what is going on down in that part of town I find it difficult to feel sorry for the majority of those folks. The previous post hit the nail on......

Peter: wow, the comments in korean are fascinating... i mean, im as prone to think that america is the global authority on conspiracy, but i think its a bit of a reach to say that america...... Mitch: The reason we have giant pot holes and roads in such terrible shape has to do with the Quebec government's cutting corners. They use lower quality asphalt and put down only a very thin layer...... Joe: As I review most of the comments posted it seems that there are many faded memories of a better time for Kensington (including many of my comments and memories). I do love history and therefore...... Peter: hey "movin to wick", wake up! youre working with a conception of {new york} thats about 20+ years outdated... i mean, serously. youd think {brooklyn} was {beirut}. perhaps youve been watching too much ##law and......

Peter: tom: i think its ludicrous to simply look at the "thousands of lives lost that day" without trying to dig deeper into the why and how of it. i think it disrespects both those who...... me: Believe it or not,some people are actually content with living here.

I...... steelisreal: I kinda gave up on the site instead of doing anything to help it but my feelings still stand in what I posted in my hot topics post that didn't get much attention, so I......

I was just pointing out to Sirhcbre that due to the flat landscape...... chiamattt: for some reason, I choose to not pay close attention to this news item. It's not that I don't care.
