Day 71 – After the nice day we had yesterday we are back to work today. We have received many thanks for the breakfast yesterday, we are just happy that we were able to provide the breakfast to these striking workers.
Today however is not such a nice quiet day, we started the day with cars [...]
This is an update to the post I made on April 24, 2008. The owner of the property sent a crew to fix the hole in the fence that we had reported about in the last post. You can see what kind of job was done in the picture below, I will leave the comments [...]

Day 66 – Another great day weather wise, the sun was shining and the temperature was just perfect. Of course just because the weather is nice doesn’t mean that everything went smoothly.
The day started out with an altercation between a workers husband and the strikers. Allegedly the union chased a scab worker down Giles to [...]
Day 65 – Seems like the police are at it again, not only are they now blocking our driveways, they are parking right on the sidewalk in front of our driveways. What is the reason for this?
Speaking of parking on the sidewalk, the nursing home now thinks it is ok to use the sidewalk in [...]
It has been well over a month since I reported the hole in the construction fence at 3333 Giles Place, so I decided to call the Community Board and get an updated status and to see what is going on. I guess someone else beat me to it because Diane was already aware that the [...]
