Monday Morning This and That

Monday morning arrived very quickly this week.  Had a busy time this weekend.  Packed away a few summer items, got out more fall, made a gift for my computer teacher.  This week is graduation, and she has been so nice I want to give her something.  Can't believe how quickly this ten weeks passed by.

When I came home on Friday I stopped to get a closer look at the building permit. Shocked to see that it says EIGHT STORIES. That's two stories higher than the one in the picture above. You can just imagine how tall that building is going to be. When I get angry I cry, and I came in shaking and in tears. Called the Community Board and spoke to a woman who is going to try to help me find out what's going on. Permits are up, but I can't find any filings in the building department other than the one for demolition of the two houses in 2017. Nothing since. 

Are they phony permits? Makes me wonder. Then again maybe they haven't been listed yet....although they should be. Plus I think members of the community should be notified of things like this that change the face of the entire community and take away the quality of life of individuals who have lived there for years. If all this is true, and they are allowed to build that high, there will be 8 families in my building who will be affected. 

This photo  shows just how close it is going to be to me. The bottom window is my bedroom. Again this picture from my kitchen.

Woke up to this on Saturday.  They haven't started work yet, but this really shows how close this 8 story building will be.

Finally made it to the Farmer's Market.  Not much there.

But I did get some juicy beefsteak tomatoes from Jersey.  Yummy.  Let me tell you though.  If I didn't have  vouchers I couldn't buy from here.  So expensive.  3 tomatoes and 2 sweet potatoes for $6.70.  

Off to the center today. Have a wonderful day.
