Volunteers Help Paint the Mural at Connie’s

Tuesday, August 9th, 2011

Neighbors from down the block and folks from as far away as East New York and Staten Island stopped by Connie’s Cafe to pick up a paintbrush and help with the new mural that’s going up.

Groundswell Community Mural Project and the NYC Department of Transportation say that it is progressing nicely, and will be done in time for the grand unveiling on Thursday, August 25. They’ll still be painting over the next two weeks, so next time you pass by, be sure to check out their progress.

    • What I Like About Ramps May 14, 2012
      Wahhhhhh! Tell me all the things I wanna hear, 'cause that's true, that's what I like about ramps, yeah. Ok, enough riffing with the Romantics. Ramps. What I truly like about them is their earthy flavor, bordering on the taste of woodland humus, their mild sting, and the delicate fruit undertones in the stem and leaves. That's what I like […]
    • Local Genius May 13, 2012
      It could only have been genius that struck when someone, probably the landlord's swift and conscientious workers,  realized they could eliminate the weeds with an herbicide spray. The only negatives could be the fact that a) it drifted onto my perennials and curled their leaves and b) didn't fully work because it rained afterward.  Their greatest s […]

      I've been relishing spring green and salmon, some of the best I can recall, at highway speeds for a couple of weeks now. First on my trip to the upstate garlic farm, and this week on my trip out to Amagansett to check out a possible location for next year's crop.  I cannot recall ever winding my way through the Long Island Pine Barrens in early spr […]
