Neither. Team Sampras all the way. He was so cute. (Isn't that the only reason to pay attention to tennis?) His wife is currently sick.

The official opening celebration of the brand-new Sunset Community Garden in Ridgewood welcomed Mayor Eric Adams’ Office of Urban Agriculture, city and state agencies and environmental-focused programs on Friday. Oct. 27. The formerly unused Grover Cleveland High School lot, located at the intersection of Willoughby Avenue and Oderdonk Avenue, was officially transformed into a modern city green space for the community. “This beautiful new community garden shows the power of deep, sustained collaboration,” said NYC Parks Commissioner Sue Donoghue. “By working with so many partners, from city and state agencies to grassroots gardening groups, we were able to bring this fantastic resource to a neighborhood that for too long lacked access to urban gardening opportunities. Now, Ridgewood residents can enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables, vibrant native flora and annual flowers and so much more.” The completion of the multi-year project to bring a community garden to Ridgewood features over 30 garden beds, pollinator plants, native grasses, shrubs, annual flowers and fruit trees like fig or elderberry, according to NYC Parks. The garden also possesses a rainwater harvesting share structure with a 750-gallon tank, capable of harvesting 3,000 gallons of water a year. Gaining an extra greenspace in the city, especially in Ridgewood, benefits residents as a whole. In 2021, NYC Parks and the Department of Education formalized the agreement to transform the unused portion of Grover Cleveland High School athletic fields into a community garden. Construction on the garden began last year, with site preparation done by two environmental-focused city organizations. The NYC Parks GreenThumb, the nation’s largest urban gardening program, and GrowNYC, an environmental nonprofit in the city, conducted surveys with over 300 community members to develop the layout for the garden and followed through on the project until completion. A three-bin compost system with tumblers was also installed at the garden to process compost from the neighborhood, according to NYC Parks. On top of the array of greenery, pathways, benches, tables and a garden shed represent a major part of the new community space. The accomplishment from the involved parties was further emphasized through Geraldine Simonis, a community gardener who spoke on what the garden brings to the community moving forward. “We’re proud of all we’ve been able to achieve in a relatively short amount of time, transforming a vacant lot sprinkled with trash, tall grasses, some milkweed and the occasional monarch butterfly, into the vibrant community hub that it is today,” said Simonis. “We are deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to the realization of the garden. As we look ahead, we promise to be good stewards of this space, to be inclusive and have diverse membership. Our plans include ramping up harvests, planting trees, hosting enriching and fun programming, and even picnicking on the hill!” The new community garden features over 30 raised garden beds with a variety of plants and flowers.

Gluten-free food is usually intolerable for those who aren't gluten-intolerant. Sadist! I bet you laughed when Humpty Dumpty fell.

He tells this story in his book and has repeated it in interviews. The woman in question was legendary actress Teri Copley. She says they were broken up at the time. Marilu Henner has said she loved the little patch of hair on his lower back, just above his ass. And luckily for her, she can remember every aspect of his hot body from back then, because she's one of a handful of people on the planet with total recall.

I was in the supermarket this morning and saw they had motorized cars for kids, including an Audi, a Range Rover, and other high-end brands. When I asked the price, I was told they range from $59 and up. That's what I'd be able to afford if my 2003 Malibu, which just passed 80,000 miles, gives out. Then I came home and found a new topic-- Would you buy a $300,000 car? Since I couldn't afford a 300,000 cent car, I thought I'd start a topic about what I could afford.

It turns out Taylor Lautner (the male one) used to date Taylor Swift. Maybe he just has a really cool set of monogrammed towels and only gets involved with women who fit with them.

Grocery Surprises, What's Got Your Goat With High Price?
samhexum replied to DR FREUD's topic in The Lounge
This isn't a grocery thing, but I went to 2 gas stations to get air, and the charge for the air machine was $1.50. I'd rather ride around on a flat tire. -
The Mets are picking up a chunk of Scherzer's salary, I believe.

Queens Council Member Sandra Ung joined community leaders, elected officials and the Olde Towne of Flushing Burial Ground Conservancy on Saturday, Oct. 28, for the renaming of the intersection of 164th Street and 46th Avenue in Flushing, which is now known as “Olde Towne Burial Ground Lane.” “Olde Towne Burial Ground Lane will forever stand as a testament to our commitment to acknowledging the past and ensuring that the memory of those who rest here is never forgotten,” said Ung. “This is more than just a change in signage, it is a powerful declaration of our city’s values and will hopefully help future generations understand the importance of recognizing and rectifying injustices. We aren’t just renaming a street, we are rewriting a narrative.” The area was bought by the town of Flushing in 1840 and used as a pauper’s burial ground. Approximately 1,000 people, mostly of African American or Native American descent were buried there over the years. The last burial at the site took place in 1898, which was the same year that New York City was consolidated into five boroughs. The site remained as it was for a number of years until it was transferred to the Parks Department in 1914 and eventually a playground was built over it in 1936. Despite news articles at the time quoting people saying there were bones being pulled from the ground, bodies were never removed. The playground remained in use until the 1990s, when the late Mandingo Osceola Tshaka advocated on behalf of the burial ground to be included in the State and National Registers of Historic Places and prompted archaeological studies. The playground was transformed into a memorial space in 2006 and in 2010 the space was officially renamed Olde Towne of Flushing Burial Ground. In 2021, a central memorial was dedicated and it includes the names of 320 people who are known to have been interred there.
