VVPA will have an event in the Park.

Yes, I went. Talde was packed....wall to wall.

Very much so.

bjay, what did you order this time?

My preferred conspiracy theory was that this is just Wag the Dog to distract from the likes of STeve King, the platform, etc.

Murican, the leftovers were just as good.

We ate there last night. The lamb meatballs with pasta was delicious, as was the thai bouillabaisse. Excellent martini. Nice when a bartender gets a simple classic right.

Service was pleasant and seamless. We had a chat with one of the owners.

And Mrs. P&K sells her homemade kimchi. They are nice people, as are their sons.

jc_dweller, Scott is in VVP all Saturdays, except the last Saturday of each month. I think he's working at a Whole Foods on that day...sharpening away.

I watched 6 cars go through the Stop sign on Jersey at York this morning.

I shopped there yesterday. Except for the organic, I found their produce prices .. and most prices in general..to be less than the old A&P. The nice fish monger is still there and there were plenty of cashiers.

Emma and her team transformed my small brown space. My neighbors hired her based on seeing my yard. They knew the "before".

Small Green Space will give you a beautiful green space

Regardless of the reason, even people with body dysmorphia have to pee. Just close the damn stall door and mind your own business. Women and children .. and men... are assualted every day. No one has to dress up to get access to victims.

tbo, thank you for correcting the record.

Newly renovated garden units....yep, you're right.

....but it has been in the local news a lot. Anyone plunking down that kind of money might be doing some market research. Just a thought.

Wondering if bubble pricing will reverse in anticipation of reval....

I've had lots of work done at Gallerie Hudson. The artistic suggestions are always good and the execution is excellent. Cannot make any comparisons to other services. Always happy with GH.

A bit far? Heck no! Around the corner!

SRhia, it may be my knowledge is old but someone high up in McNair administration said "5 things"...just make sure the 5 slots are filled. They don't care what it is. One is not better than another.

Why aren't the parents simply sending lunch with the kids?

Wow, Brewster, we clearly have different sources. I was told the PSAT is a full 60%. Given what i know about my kids' grades versus performance on standardized tests, that 60% number makes sense to me.

And maybe times have changed, because there was no essay for McNair.

PSAT, grades, extra curriculars (list 5, and you're done) and teacher recommendations, signed by the principal. I know one kid who didn't get in because his app was missing that signature.

McNair admissions formula puts a weighted emphasis on the PSAT score. A straight A student who does not do well on this test is at a disadvantage against an A/B student who scores well on the PSAT.

I sent you a private message.

Yes, Eugene Brajczewski did the work.

It was about $6.5K but it was at least 15 years ago. They were
incredibly careful around the slate sidewalk. Another plumber, who quoted twice the price, wanted to demo the slate because he couldn't be bothered.

YES!!! We had a busted terra cotta pipe.. Every time it rained we had a couple of inches of water in our basement.

Brajczewski Plumbing dug up under the slate slabs on our street...by hand... to replace the pipes. It was hell getting them in to do the work, but they did a terrific job.

I ate there with a large group a couple of months ago and with a party of four last month. The food was very good, and service was fine.
