The flowers are very nice..thank you JVB….I only wish there was a way to stop the constant barrage of weekly circulars that end up all over our streets…the biggest culprit being the trade fair supermarket on Roosevelt ave

I met Pete Townsend and Roger Daltrey in there a long time ago. They were trying to order breakfast but the cook didn’t seem to hear them. Then I heard Pete say, “Tommy … Tommy can you hear me?”

Why hasn’t there been a report about the new Art Store? That place is amazing.

That’s great! Those flower baskets really make this neighborhood look beautiful. I wish Sunnyside Shines would install them outside the business district. That would make things even better.
