Hi fellow neighbors!
I, too, like Mr. Plaza lingered on this post for the past 5 months and now I've finally joined in to say...HELLO! I'M genuinely excited to be part of the Washington Plaza family and part of this amazing neighborhood's fabric!
I'm so glad to hear that I'm not the only one that painfully endured a long process from the date of offer being accepted to actually closing. I bought my 2 bedroom in the D building in May and finally moved in November. It was seriously the longest few months bc I was just looking forward to being in this neighborhood! I'm a Queens gal through and through. Lived in other places and Queens is where I always come back to as HOME. Being in JH has even reaffirmed that notion.
I would LOVE a get-together as I'm really looking to build a community within the building and make new friends in the hood. I'm a single mom of a daughter who is by the way looking for babysitting gigs. She's responsible, so good with kids, smart and very mature. Also loves to sing, a lot and all the time, so we apologize in advance if you hear her. She will be 12 this Sunday! You may see us together like sisters, she's a super kid!!!
I'm so excited to learn that the gym will be in the D building! I can't wait for this to be finished but I heard that may be the last phase which seemed like another year of constant construction.
So far, I'm so happy about the purchase. I love the neighbors I have met this far. The staff here is by far the best group of such hard working, sweet and helpful people. We feel very lucky.
As far as the courtyard, I heard that they wanted to restone the fountain edges and just update the gardening.
I also thought I'd be super upset about losing FiOs but TWC must have some amazing deals with WP bc my network connection speed is super fast! I don't own cable so I'm only dealing with the internet and I can't complain!
anyway, we can't wait to eventually meeting all of you!
Good night!
