Jackson Heights Life

The people living near 74th street are form all over asia.  The don't have necessarily have a common culture or religion.  A friend of mine from Delhi described walking down the street there as a nightmare because he was hearing so many different languages being spoke at once.  I suspect that if there were to be any tension it would be reflective of long standing issues, not something trivial like skirt length.

I was in Park Slope on Saturday the 24th and saw one of MPC's Jack Heights ads in a bus shelter on 7th Ave and 3rd Street.  I lived in Park Slope from 94-01 and won't waste time talking about hos much that neighborhood has changed.  But I did wonder if the campaign might succeed in attracting some of the small business owners in Brooklyn to Jackson Heights.  The rent on 7th Ave in Park Slope can't be more than 37th Ave in Jackson Heights, can it?

I hope these adds attract the types of people that turned 5th Ave from a ghost town to a destination to move to JH. 

My coop is seeking bids to repair gutters near a few of the entranceways.  One of the lintels (metal support crossmember) is also failing and doing damage to the masonry. 

Can anyone recommend contractors for one or both parts of this job?  If you have hired them please provide some information about the projects they have worked on.

...edit..
 Any who back to cycling anyone doing the tour de queens?

How could I miss it!  My bike is a dark gray fixed gear with dorky looking double straps
and a butterfly bar.  Say hi if you see me.

I'm have been researching options to improve electronic communication at my coop and discovered that there are a number of relatively new social networking products targeted at homeowners' associations and coop/condo boards.  The most promising options that I have found so far are Lifeat, Villageloop and HOASpace.com. Has anyone had experience with this type of product?  I would also be interested in hearing about the adoption rate that others have seen with internet solutions in general - websites, online groups, etc.

Pet Chauffeur is a pet transportation service that also has a boarding facility.  They are based in Long Island City
and you have the option of either dropping of your pet or paying to have them do the transport.  Dogs have an outdoor play area where they can socialize.  The website has pricing information.  I had a good experience with them
recently and would use the service again.
