Brooklyn, NY Real Estate News

Its great when there's additional income to help with the mortgage. I want to have another, but at a better location than where I am. I drive a Camry, but my interest in investing in properties kept me from changing to a Lexus 350. I know the Lexus will become old and depreciates, but my house(s) will help me now and in my retirement. Has anyone here read "The Automatic Millionaire"?Do you Realtors have Real Estate study materials to share? I am always willing to learn more.Anyone heard of PS 130 in Manhattan? Anyone hurt their back shovelling snow? I am in NYC, NE region. How is everyone out there?

The largest of these, Grand Army Plaza, was the site of the "turning on the switch" festivities the other night. Even Mayor Bloomberg was there, although our usually ubiquitos Borough President, Marty Markowitz, was elsewhere.  See the full story here The arch, which looks like the Arc de Triomphe to me, wws festooned with lights and a christmas tree light installation sits inside. Furth down the plaza, there is a fountain featuring a statue of Neptune, in which light "waves" were created.
