FRIDAY PHOTO OF THE DAY

SIGN FROM CAPRI PIZZARIA 
LOCATED AT 524 MAIN STREET UNTIL 1980’S
ALEXIS VILLAFANE & NINA LUBLIN GOT IT.

MONDAY PHOTO

FOR AGES A BUNCH OF METAL SUPPORTS SAT ON THE HILL BETWEEN THE FIRE HOUSE AND AVAC. IT SEEMS TO BE A NO-MANS LAND. RIOC STAFF WANTED TO MOW THE LAWN AND FDNY REFUSED TO MOVE THE METAL SUPPORTS.  THERE SEEMED TO BE A STANDOFF BETWEEN FDNY & RIOC.
A COMMENT SENT TO THE FIRE COMMISSIONER ON THE FDNY WEBSITE BROUGHT ACTION. THE PARKING LOT NEXT TO THE BUILDING WAS REPAVED, THE TREES TRIMMED, GRASS CUT AND ALL THE JUNK WAS REMOVED FROM THE AREA.

WHEN  I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE JOB WAS DONE, THERE WERE 10 CC’S ON THE E-MAIL!
