WEEKEND EVENTS ON STATEN ISLAND (4/19 – 4/23/17)

Posted by Joan Coogan on April 19th, 2017

Who among you, my gentle readers, were able to meet with Mayor Bill de Blasio this past week? Did you express your concerns to him and his staff of commissioners about issues you may have? Were you satisfied with the Mayor’s response?

Recently, I encountered a Department of Sanitation street sweeper coming down a nearby street and was in awe along with other residents on the street. I have only seen street sweepers in Brooklyn, never on the Island. This particularly street is filled with potholes, broken pavement and an actual crater; I would prefer to see these streets repaired first!

Did you visit Jodi and Nothing New Thrift Shop this week? Some of my gentle readers already let me know I inspired them to begin the overhaul of their closets. I saw a hint online about saving the pop tabs from soda cans. You loop it over your hanger and then add another hanger to the tab and then another, thus saving space in your closets. We all need space in our closets. Decluttering is one way. Pop tabs can be another. Did you make memories with your children on their Easter break at the Children’s Museum or start an indoor garden.

Profits are given to local and regional charities. Look for my blog in the days to come highlighting the new Shop. In the meantime visit and/or view the website: http://www.nothingnewwarehouse.com
