Friends of Jerome Park Reservoir say:
Blasting at Jerome Park Reservoir?
NO WAY!
June 16, 2008
Dear Neighbor:
Our precious reservoir, as well as our
peace and quiet, is in jeopardy!
In documents explaining the construction of the water filtration plant in the Mosholu Golf Course, the City’s Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) indicated that there would also be significant construction necessary [...]
Day 119 – Today started out with a mess of police cars on the street. I was told that the police were there for an altercation, not between the striking workers and the scabs but between Helen’s own private security guards. You heard correctly, the security guards had a fight between themselves and the police [...]
Day 118 – I will get to the strike line and the goings on shortly. I just want to remind everyone that this is a neighborhood blog, I try to keep everyone in our little neighborhood informed about what is happening. Currently I have devoted the blog to the 1199 SEIU strike against the Kingsbridge [...]
Day 116 & 117 – This is my usual weekend wrap-up post, except since this Sunday was Father’s Day I have decided to just celebrate the Dad’s on the line. The members were here still standing strong through the weekend, rain and all.
I received some pictures from the Former FIPNA President (My Mom) showing that [...]
Day 115 – Today is Friday the 13th! There is not much going on except for the daily routine. The members are still on the line and the weather is hot once again.

Remember yesterday when I told you about a resident that came outside and said [...]
Day 113 – Today the members are looking refreshed after yesterday’s water fun. The temperature is still in the 80’s but it is nicer to be outside today.
To start the day off I was across the street speaking with a journalist from Poland who was here to gather information about the strike to write a [...]
Day 112 – Another very hot and humid day on the line. It was almost unbearable to sit outside, especially in the direct sun.
The members took full advantage of the open fire hydrant and had a good old fashion water fight. Everyone got wet, there was no hiding from it, I got it, even some [...]
Day 111 – Another scorcher! The temperature had been close to 100 degrees today. The members were still here on the line, but they were doing their best to stay out of the sun to try and stay cool.
The Fire Department came by and installed a sprinkler cap on the fire hydrant so that the [...]
Day 109 & 110 – This is my weekend wrap-up post compiling both days into one post. First let me just say it was a hot hot hot weekend, it is just the beginning of June and already we have temperatures near 100 degrees.
So once again officer Vanputten was assigned to the post here at [...]
