Neighborhood Chat / Re: UPS crook seen in area
« on: December 11, 2017, 10:56:12 AM »
We had cameras installed by the mailboxes in our building and that stopped the thief. Package theft inside a building is likely a resident or their visitor as most people won’t let a stranger follow them into the building.

Neighborhood Chat / Re: fios at 35th ave and 74th street? What are the laws about putting in a building?
« on: April 14, 2014, 09:25:07 PM »
I spoke to Verizon at the annual Co-Op Expo regarding FiOS in apartment buildings. If the building is willing to provide access, Verizon will install it.  Their preferred pathway from the street is the same as TimeWarner (direct buried cable terminating in distribution equipment in the basement).  That said, property management would need to ensure that they provide access through the existing vertical pathways (ducts/conduits) as cable.  I suspect the issue in most buildings will be congestion in the existing pathways filled with coax.  Our building doesn't allow sattelite dishes or exterior wiring, so this continues to be a challenge.

Community Trade and Classifieds / English Oak Pub Table for Sale --- $750
« on: November 07, 2012, 09:36:01 AM »
This antique tiger oak pub table was probably made in England in the '20s. The rich tone and contrasting grain will complement a variety of decors. The top is 30" high, and expands from 27"x42" to 27"x64" using two recessed leaves that extend from both sides. The carved barley twist legs balance the table top without adding bulk. The side also houses a small drawer and the apron is accented with oak roping. The table comes with a tempered glass top and four matching chairs with leather covered seats. The set is in good condition and with a only minor chip on the top.

Please contact me with any questions.

Thanks for looking.

Neighborhood Chat / Re: Colony Wines and Liquors
« on: December 31, 2010, 03:55:40 PM »
If you want to patronize one store for whatever reason and boycott another, that's certainly your prerogative.  I happen to shop at Colony and have never found them offensive. The man's supposed "rudeness" has nothing to do with his ethnicity.  I find that reference and the one about the "american" couple divisive. Unless you know for a fact that someone is in this country illegally, we're all Americans.

Neighborhood Chat / Re: Wall Street Journal discusses ongoing issues relating to coop garden usage
« on: December 14, 2010, 08:29:52 PM »
I live in a co-op and contribute much of my time and energy to the garden.  Our garden is close to the rear apartments, and loud music and noise is certainly inconsiderate of those residents.  Limiting "play" to certain hours makes little sense to me.  Children don't just sit on the grass, they run and play and chase each other as we all did as kids.  That's what children should do, but the garden is not the place.  Stepping on a 4 year old shrub can kill it, and we neither have the money or patience to replace it and wait another 4 years for it to mature.  I love seeing children and families in our garden.  We encourage them to sit at our tables, read, have picnics, tell stories, and enjoy the fruits of our labor.  Is it too much to ask them not to trample the plants and shrubs that we've nurtured?  Our gardens are for everyone to enjoy, but that comes with a responsibility to treat them well.  Our garden rules are a reasonable compromise, and our residents understand the need and abide by them.

Do you go in search for them or just by chance stumbled across them?  I heard a bunch of crows around Nov also.  One time, I think I saw a murder of crows (hehe.  look it up.  ) being chased away by a different kind of bird on the roof tops near the Methodist church on 82nd & 35th Ave.  Possibly one of these hawks.

We don't search for the redtail or the coopers hawks.  They seem to like the trees on our block and return every winter.  Crows and bluejays gain strength in numbers and sometimes chase them away.

Here's an image from this morning during the blustering rain and winds.

When and where did you take this Photo?

What kind of camera did you use for this shot?

The hawks regularly visit the trees behind our building (The Griswold @34th/87th).  The camera is a Nikon D200 with a 55-300mm lens.  I got a few shots this morning that I'll post post-turkey celebrations.  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
