"I find the idea of going on a bus (and back) to get and haul groceries to be a bit silly to me. A lobster, fine...bags of food, nah."

Wow, so I guess all those people who do this every day must be silly huh? The little old ladies who take their carts to the supermarket on the buses must be morons.

Oh please. Fairway is easy enough to get to on the bus, I would hardly call it "only accessible by cars" and I live further away from the precious 11217 area.

I walked near the canal a few weeks ago on the Union St bridge and there was a swan and two duckies swimming in there.

I went to look at the Berkeley House and while it does need a bit of sprucing up, I would hardly say it needs extensive work. The original detail in that house has got to be one of the most beautiful I have seen. Yes the kitchens are old. But not everyone feels the need to completely redo and home depoize their kitchen. Yes the house is somewhat narrow. Not everyone likes modern, ever think of that? Frankly, if I had the money, I would not buy a house with extensive upgrade, if I knew what it looked like before and liked it.
