We called it Joe's Deli. I remember Aaron Gash was the proprietor for many years. I rememberRead More cutting out of high school with a pack of kids and walking up there for buttered rolls. As a real little kid, we would walk up there and fill a brown bag with candy for a quarter. Bazooka gum, red hot atomic fireballs, sour apples balls, grape gum balls-- the good ole' days!!

You can thank all these POS politicians for the new gun legislation designed to make law abidingRead More citizens give up their second amendment rights out of sheer frustration and incontinence of owning a gun legally for increases in savage on citizen violence. This is only the beginning and in short time many New Yorker's will be forced to remain in their homes fearing one of these animals will make them their pray. I for one believe in the old adage, it's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

I do not believe Bridges is the school with connections, it is the other school Westbrook that isRead More being rented to friends of the BOE.

Has anyone been able to find out if we are losing money renting this building to this for profitRead More preschool? If I under stood correctly from previous post's, there may be some friendship with one or more BOE members which paved the way for their lease.

How about we use that "word of mouth" to make sure no one ever does business with this manRead More again. http://www.parentsformeganslaw.org/offender/offenderDetails.jsp How on earth can The Patch justify promoting the business of man who is on probation for CHILD PORNOGRAPHY???

@ june cysel. No june, you are missing the point. This woman was never married , no hugeRead More responsibilities of a family and contributes a whopping 45% of her gross income to savings/investing. How many (including you) can do that. I have family, my children are grown and moved out and I was smart with my money (investing, 401K, 457K, annuities, etc) earned a pension and moved to Florida to earn a second pension where I knew my money would go further. When I was single, I saved a helluva lot more. I still save/invest, but not like in my single days. I commend you for being a single mom and raising two children on your own. Although I do not know your full circumstances, I doubt you saved 45% of your gross salary. This is not the norm. This woman sacrificed a lot in her early years. I split mine down the middle between spending and saving. Still enjoying a very good life financially. Reread the article before you start telling people that they are missing the point.
