Hi All,
Have been to Governor’s Island a few times and it never disappoints – it’s really peaceful and gorgeous!
Is there really a High School now on the Island?
Another cool place to visit is in Queens – the Queens Farm in Douglaston – Great for kids – lots of interactive stuff
also the Science Hall at the Worlds Fair in Corona -place is great!!
…to be sure,
we had our share of Asian gang members too.
but they kept to themselves mostly and
ran some sort of business out of a basement
room there.
“Too bad we can’t open a bar on Governors Island. etson would come back from Canada for that.”
How about Etson and I open up a Canadian bar there called the Maple Leaf Lounge or The Beaver Bar or something as touristy sounding? Then we can change the name to Governor General’s Island.
rf,
put it this way,
at Tech the year I graduated
we had the Westinghouse winner,
he developed a new math theorum.
a dude who wrote a book on how
to solve the Rubik’s cube and
Roy Innis (Congress of Racial Equality)
amongst others.
My zoned school led the stats in
shankings.
rf.. of course you want the best education for your child. no one would doubt that or take that away from you. i think my comment was a little too… cant think of the word right now.. it wasnt meant to insult or anything, more of just a comment on society and where we choose to live and associate with in general.
noki, indeed cranky today. Listened to a bunch of IB folks complain last night about their paltry bonuses.
Should have said “gen-y’rs” instead.

Best of luck to your daughter RF
sounds like you take her education seriously – which is 99.9% of the battle.

“Biff, Jewish kids doing pretty well in school too”
Awesome! So is a Jewish Eurasian kid approximately the academic equivalent of an Asian kid?
wasder, sounds excellent. Let’s plan on that for sure.
And Chicken would cross the pond.
