The “rock house?”

Saw the house with the rock around the lower half and the arch and pillars at 38th and East Oak Island Dr. Anyone know anything about it?

Free NYC cleanup channel on Insta.

Found someone who does free lawn/lot/garden/tree pit/ cleanups here in NYC. He also build tree box guards and plants flowers. I follow a number of lawn care makeover channels on Youtube, but this is the first I’ve found doing work in the five boroughs. Their main site has a signup form if you’d like to volunteer and you can also donate.

Would Jack Rabbit Slims actually make it as a restaurant?

We had a “Characters” restaurant in Greensboro, NC, with a similar theme back in the 90s, but it didn’t last long. I guess in a town like LA finding look-a-likes for the themed servers and staff wouldn’t be hard, but would the theme endure as long as the food is great or would they have to rotate things to keep up with trends?

Interest in David at The Carlyle?

Found out today that David’s never played The Carlyle here in NYC. Wonder if he thinks it’s too posh?

Did your local station carry all 79 eps in syndication?

Having grown up in a market where the ABC station would not air NYPD Blue until very late into the series’ run, stations cherry picking shows/episodes is nothing new to me. It’s much easier to track now, but did you notice episodes missing when TOS popped up in syndication in your area?

Dumping at WWI Memorial McNally Plaza

Been trying to get the city to clean up the dumping all around McNally Plaza at Amsterdam and Laurel Hill Terrace. The dumping is below the railing on the Southeast corner. The wooded area is the shoulder area offramp from the Washington Bridge to I-95 South. I just filed my latest 311 complaint through the app, but thought I’d post the pics I took to see if anyone else would file as well. The commemorative plaque for the memorial is missing, but don’t know if it was stolen or is being refurbished.
