sales trends by neighborhood
Somewhere I saw a website that gave information on how much prices for coops went down (or up) in the last year. I can't find it now. Anyone know how I can find out the sales trends by neighborhood in Brooklyn.

Good Mortgage broker
I am looking for a good, honest mortgage broker who could help with a mortgage for a HDFC coop that is going to have complicated ownership. The property is in Brooklyn. Suggestions?

My father grew up on Flatbush Ave in Brooklyn in the 1920's. He built the house I grew up in 1962 (in another city) and installed a talking tube because he thought it was such a handy idea from his childhood. All my friends had electronic intercom systems but we had a talking tube. I'm glad to hear that some still exist in his home turf.

It's pretty early to be harvesting pears. I'd wait another month. But all the suggestions above will work for picking, depending on the size of the tree.

Either that, or get a stick; throw it up into the branches, and if any of the fruit are ready-to-eat, they will fall...

Buy a fruit picker. It is a long telescoping pole with a claw basket at the end- I keep an old pot holder at the bottom of the basket to cushon the fruit. You pick the friut piece by piece but it really doesn't take too long. Ask at a big hardware store-- maybe it's called an apple picker.
