  1. I really hope they are NOT overhyping this storm. If we’re going to have more snow, I want a shut-down-the-city-snow-day storm, or nothing at all. There was nothing worse as a kid in the ‘burbs listening to all the hype about the coming snow storm (which we didn’t know was hype because we were kids), only to wake up the next morning, counting on a snow day (and not having done our homework the night before in anticipation), and there being NOTHING!

  2. Kens, yes we drove on Ocean Parkway and Benson pointed out “swanky” 1960’s state of the art high rises and other buildings.

    Benson, I think that your explanation should be good and then do something special. For example, you could get a lifesize photo standup of you made for her. j/k.

    Flowers would be nice.

  3. Sounds like fun, Dona.

    “then drove around Bay Ridge in and out of the streets, with Benson pointing out interesting houses, schools, churches,”
    I’d like to know what Benson considers “interesting”. Or maybe I wouldn’t 🙂
    Did you see my favorite house? It’s on 76th street btwn Ridge and Colional on a dead end. It’s a neo-gothic house that takes up the entire block. And across the street is another beauty.
    Did you see the Farrell house?
    Fontbonne Academy was the home of Lillian Russell.
    The monastary aka Visitation Academy has a lake. I’ve never seen it. Everytime I walk by there, I say ‘Imagine how many houses you can get on that property’. I think it takes up four square blocks.

    “and cloistered Sephardic Jewish section, Syrian Jewish predominently with huge houses all with Mediterrean roofs.”
    I need to take an in depth walk thru that area.

    i love the prospect park south historic district aka Victorain Flatbush!

    Glad you had fun and survived a day with Benson 😉
    Are you republicans now?
    Does MM love feeders?

  4. You’re worth it, no worries Bxgrl. I couldn’t even make some of your little gathering since just been booked up the dates that you all decide to get together :o(.

    Cool Benson. Glad you at least showed them the Syrian enclave. Too bad you guys didn’t have enough time for Brighton and Manhattan beach. Now there is a real doozy to be seen.
