so what has been happening lately. hmmm...on saturday els and i went out for another round of a day of fun. we tried to get into the zoo, but the bitch lady at the door said we couldn't get in using my parents membership pass because my name wasn't on the pass and it's an individual membership not a family. so els and i found ourselves at the frick collection. a place i hadn't been to in years and els has never been. we got ourselves in as students...a savings of $10!!! then we got a free audio tour, which was cool cuz you could find out about the room or the paintings that interested you rather having to listen to everything. we then walked up madison to look in the store windows of stuff we couldn't afford. we also had some yummy ice cream in the park.......


on sunday the family took a trip to see the staten island yankees play the lowell spinners. the yanks lost, but the family had fun. so that was cool.

and then monday came...THE BIG DIG. say goodbye to the housing landscape i knew and loved. mom and dad are losing their driveway and side yard in order to make way for a new street for 2 houses that are being built in the wooded area behind their house. it's the worst that could ever happen to the neighborhood...

this is where the driveway used to be. along with a garden and some bushes. my parents house is on the left. at least my parents don't loose as much of their side yard as our neighbors, their's is COMPLETELY gone. it's just such a shame!!!

Boo NYC zoning board.
