“What — that is great advice you gave Paul about the train station. Too bad Nyack doesn’t have one.”
I think your right! I remember having a relationship with someone a few years ago and I thought that was Nyack. Sorry..
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
“Biff I have a video that may qualify as a ‘Feel Good Video’. Should I email it to you?”
Um, is it suitable for family viewing?
Good luck PaulC,
Nyack is great. I grew up not far from there. Great old homes, river views, restaurants. A good vibe. Also, if you like hiking, you are not far from lots of ways to access Harriman.
What — that is great advice you gave Paul about the train station. Too bad Nyack doesn’t have one. Actually, Nyack ahs gone through a lot of the same waves of “gentrification” you bemoan about Brooklyn. Other than the grand homes along the river, where the likes of Helen Hayes used to live, Nyack used to have a much larger portion of working class families and immigrants, and greater ethnic diversity. Many more people running trade and craft types of businesses — furniture restoration, 5 and dimes, gritty antique shops when antiques were cheap. Also, it was Rockland County’s hippie haven in the late 60s early 70s, and a center for all kinds of arts. Now it has waterfront condo developments and higher priced restaurants layered over its earlier grittiness. Meanwhile, all kinds of beautiful old homes have been fixed up.
Here Retards suck this down! I rant because the Big Boys are raping America and everyone is too stupid to anything about it!
Leading Economist Decries Power of Wall Street “Oligarchs”

America’s Crisis Resembles that of Emerging Markets: While at the IMF, Johnson saw so many financial crises that the core problem became old hat: In the free-wheeling growth years of an economic boom, the politicians and oligarchs of an emerging market like Russia or Argentina would get so close that eventually they would meld into a politico-industrial complex. As long as the boom lasted, this cozy relationship never bothered anyone–because everyone was getting rich. Fast forward to the latest market crisis–the one in the United States. The pattern is exactly the same, Simon Johnson says, with a mutually beneficial money-and-power corridor now running between Washington and the modern oligarchs Wall Street.
Timmah Geithner!!!!!! Is a Wall Street crook and you has 7 month of life support left..

I used to live in Grand View NY (just south of Nyack) there used to be a hi-speed ferry I would take to midtown. When that stopped running I moved because the commute was hard.
I never took the TZ, I took 9W down to the PPKWY and then to the George.
I agree with Montrose that Florence is the most gorgeopus museum-city I have ever seen. Toledo Spain is my second favorite. Go in late Nov. or ealy Dec. The weather is perfect and there are few tourists.
No one ever responds to anything I ever write on the OT so there it is, for what its worth.
Biff I have a video that may qualify as a ‘Feel Good Video’. Should I email it to you?
DIBS, how do you think Geithner’s comments sit against the IMF revised estimate of losses of $4.1bn bu the end of 2010 (of which $1m currently recognised)?
Chicken, thanks. I got it and just viewed it. I’m not sure if that should be the Feel Good Video of the Day or the Disturbing Video of the Day. It’s on tap for tomorrow.
I guess you know more about all this than Geithner, What. Your analysis based on anal fascination is interesting, though.
