Neighborhood Chat / Re: Where to buy Xmas tree??

« Last post by dmeschter on Yesterday at 09:42:09 PM »

Ultima Florist - 81st & 37th. Not very far away from you.

We're on 79th Street and we have purchased our Christmas Trees from these guys for years...  It's just one guy and (sometimes) his teenage son.  I will continue to support them this year as well.

In case anyone is interested, I was very impressed by this young man and have employed him to walk my dog.  My dog loves him and so far, I am very happy with my decision.

If you are looking for a walker, I think it's worth your time to check this individual out.

Happy Holidays fellow Jackson Heighters! 

We need your support for a very important event. On Sunday, December 15th at 6pm, our community will come together for a special tree lighting ceremony in Diversity Plaza (37th Rd and 73rd Street).  This is designed to be the first of many events and changes which we hope will make the plaza a desired meeting place and an aesthetically pleasing space for our neighborhood.  You presence in the plaza on Sunday and support for this effort is truly appreciated!  Please bring your family! There will be holiday music, guest vocalists, ornament making, and finally the tree lighting at the end of the hour long celebration (7pm).

Sure it can be fixed depending on how bad the crack is. I will have to see it to know for sure.

What an Idiot!! When we lived in a building (even though the doorman held our packages) I would get my neighbors packages daily-our names were almost identical. To think that one would think it's ok to STEAL is so sad... I believe in Karma.. And if anyone knows this person give him a kick in the ass from me.. SCROOGE.!!!

Today at 2:59 PM 






I went by there this morning to see the huge rat out front and the locked-out employees picketing in the freezing cold.  I told them many in the neighborhood are upset about their treatment  by Trade Fair and asked what we can do to help


They said there will be a press conference in front of the store at 10:00AM tomorrow and, the more people that show up, the better.


Even though it's cold for standing outside, let's show them some support.
