Greenway gone Wild

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

Walking down along the path (on the east side of the expressway) that connects Caton and Ocean Parkway is a study in abandonment. I have not had the chance to look into greater detail in who’s responsible for mowing down the waist high grass and weeds that grow with abundance, or to clean up loads, and loads of dumped trash, but someone should – and soon. (Anyone noticed the missing link – the lack of a crossing across Church Avenue to connect the paths?)

There’s a blue camping chair out by the railings – wondering who’d like to hang out in a spot like that.

See All: Green, Sanitation

Yes! it is gotten very disgusting and dangerous. The parks department or the DOT are slacking off. Call 311!!!

It seems to stay like this for 2-3 months, then go back to a somewhat groomed appearance. My guess for the chair is Alex.

POWER TO THE PEOPLE: SUSAN G. KOMEN REVERSES DECISION! February 3, 2012
ALRIGHT THEN….i have rarely felt so fired up as i have the moment i heard that the susan g. komen breast cancer charity had made some politically-motivated back-room board deal/manipulation to pull funding from planned parenthood. and then listened to them spin spin spin during the vertigo-inspiring fall-out. but most people, it turns out, have […]
Corporate Pepper February 3, 2012
I stepped out this morning and discovered the white foam perishables container on my step. Already -they've arrived. I hadn't informed the Sunset produce representative who contacted me that I had blogged about the episode after I lodged a complaint that their peppers tasted like mothballs. Poor form? Maybe, so I won't be able to relay our exa […]
Goldfeather February 2, 2012
He used to walk up my block when I was a kid. He was a short man maybe in his 50’s. He had black hair, a moustache and thick “Buddy Holly” style glasses. Sam usually wore a brown overcoat in the winter and a sports jacket in the summer. He could always be seen wearing a brown or black derby too. Now Sam also walked with a cane, except most of the time it was […]
There's That Really Warm Day In February February 1, 2012
And it usually comes later, but it will probably be today. Although that's not saying much given how warm this winter continues to be. I'll be indoors today, but you, if you can, should get out there! […]
It Is So Warm February 1, 2012

BOYCOTT SUSAN G. KOMEN – AND PASS THIS FORWARD – February 1, 2012
Susan G. Komen foundation has decided to cut funding to Planned Parenthood – having been influenced by political right-wing moolah. Screw them. Don’t give them a penny and let them know. I encourage you to unsubscribe their emails and post to your Facebook or social network site and email them also to tell them that […]
Eating Peppers Temporarily Mothballed January 29, 2012
Two weeks ago I was shopping at Fairway. I needed red peppers for a recipe I was making that night, but Fairway didn't have any. Hmm, well I was off to Court Street to pick up something else, so I stopped into the Italian grocery and they had this incredible deal on just the kind of pepper I was looking for. If you can believe it, I bought the last two […]
How Warm Has It Been? January 28, 2012
I sit in our dutiful van, rocking, nose running, both due to the brisk wind coming from the southwest that brings in the damp coolness of the ocean. We feel cold under it, but the plants don't seem to mind. Sunny and in the forties, today became an opportunity for my midwinter visit to the beach farm. Last year around this time the beach farm was covere […]

If You Do Not Come For Winter... January 26, 2012
You'll miss the spring. It's too early for this. Yes, a warmer than average winter indeed. […]
