It seems as though I am spending a great deal of time blogging about those who have passed. Marc Pollitzer may not have been Tim Russert, but in White Plains hew was a champion of open space and advocate for responsible development.

Since 2006, I287 has been undergoing some massive improvements - Ok the term is relative, but I'm in a charitable mood today. For those who don't know, it is the primary East/West corridor in lower Westchester. Right now the bulk of the work is happening in White Plains around the heavily traffic...

Someone sent this to me - it has no known author. The comments beneath are mine. Nothing has been changed to protect the guilty.   YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2008 when...1.
