Happy Thanksgiving 2012 - 11/22/12 04:44 AM

In 1817 New York State adopted Thanksgiving Day as an annual custom, and by the middle of the 19th century many other states had done the same. In 1863 President Abraham Lincoln appointed a day of thanksgiving as the last Thursday in November.
To all my ActiveRain friends and blogging buddies wishing you and yours a very Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving. If you're on the Upper West Side for Thanksgiving check out The Macy's Thanksgiving day parade along Central Park West.
Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy!

Facebook Power: Goodbye to Nathans Yonkers - Thanks for the Memories - 11/18/12 07:34 AM
I grew up in North East Yonkers in a section called Crestwood. On Friday via Facebook, I found out that one the the neighborhood's most iconic landmarks will close its doors on Nov. 25 after more than 47 years in business. Nathans Famous.
My family actually moved to Yonkers before there was Nathans. Prior to Nathans opening it was Adventurer's Inn. My father always referred to it as Adventurer's Inn which was also located at the Cross county Shopping center.

New York General Election | United States of America - 11/06/12 02:09 AM
 UPDATE: Election Day | Upper West Side Manhattan 2:30 PM
I just voted. The best voting experience I have had sice I started voting at 18 years old. When I lived in California in 1980, my voting location was in a neighbor's backyard then I proceeded to their kitchen to place my paper ballot in a box. I was quite suprised how archaic voting in California was since it is a modern state.
Since being back in NY for 30 years I have been voting in elementary schools. From the old wonderful curtain lever booths to the new electronic scanners.
