real estate: If You Need Building Materials Nyack Lumber is the Place To Shop - 06/14/14 10:16 AM
We have been thinking about adding a proper master bedroom and enlarging our kitchen for a few years now, and recently decided to take the plunge. We called in about 3 contractors to get estimates. The estimates were all very close to each other, but were much more than we wanted to spend.We made the decision to be the general contractor for the job. We would oversee the framing, electrical, plumbing, and purchasing of the supplies. This is definitely not for the fainthearted, but can save you lots of money. This blog is not really about our experiences so far as … (0 comments)

real estate: Nyack Barber Shop - 09/07/13 10:25 PM

From time to time I like to highlight a village merchant that for me exemplifies the joy of being part of a close knit community such as Nyack. The Nyack Barber Shop on Main Street is just one of the  those places. The owners name is Vlad, and he always has a warm smile, and is genuinely happy to see you when you come through his door. His shop harks back to an almost bygone era where the barber shop was a place for community members to catch up with local gossip and talk politics as well. You can also … (2 comments)

It’s that time of year again. The political campaigns are underway. Here in Nyack lawn signs are beginning to pop up in yards, mailings are showing up in our mailboxes, and people are beginning to discuss the various candidates and what they stand for. This is how the system is supposed to function, and it is exciting. One primary race that strikes me as particularly important is the race for Rockland County Executive.  Please do your own research on the candidates, and go to your polling location on September 10, and pull the lever or click the icon for the candidate … (0 comments)

According to Jim Politi, Nyack Village Administrator  our recreational sprinklers are now operational. It was very unfortunate that a broken part took the sprinklers offline for most of the summer, but they are back. Weather forecasts say that it will be a hot week so take the kids and a picnic lunch and cool off down by the river in Nyack Memorial Park. 
Very important - you rest your hand on the the  black cover of the short green post. The heat from your hand activates the sprinklers – very high tech. J

real estate: Nyack Wins Benjamin Moore Contest - 07/08/13 10:15 PM
Well it’s official – the Village of Nyack downtown is about to get a jolt of color. The announcement this past Monday that Nyack had received enough votes to win the Benjamin Moore “Main Street matters” campaign is exciting news for all of us. Merchants and residents alike are excited for work to begin. I think it’s great that the program will hire local painters to do the work, and those merchants and building owners get to choose their colors. It’s a win-win situation. Nyack was the only community in New York State and one of four in the northeast to … (0 comments)
