two or three of those baby trees in front of these businesses, are dead. );
i wish some of these businesses would “adopt” a tree.

I agree, those baby trees need water and it’s been so dry lately. Are they going to fill in the new expanded area in front of the walgreeens completely with concrete sidewalk? A little green something would be pretty great there.

These businesses didn’t shovel the snow in front of their locations before this sidewalk expansion. They are definitely not going to this winter when they are 3X the sidewalk to do. And there is always garbage on the sidewalk and in the gutter, I hope they add a couple of garbage cans.

When NYC DOT presented the bump-outs and traffic calming solutions for McDonald/Church several months ago, he said DOT might consider requests for trees, benches, and planters on that corner. At Bergen and Smith streets, the bump out got a small garden with a ledge to sit on and corn growing inside. Let’s hope we do as well.

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 […]

Sixty Five MPH Spring May 11, 2012
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 […]
