Times Square Gossip

**** THE WEB GOSSIP **** Mike Bloomberg WELCOME HOME --- I'll say one thing, I never had a vacation end so abruptly or quickly as my 13-day adventure out of NYC. Let's just say it was a break-neck race back to New York Saturday morning on the red eye from L. A. There was absolutely no waiting for a cab when we hit JFK; and, an eerie silence that immediately announced something was about to happen. From there it was straight home while listening to the dire warnings from Mayor Bloomberg on down (isn't it interesting that most ALL of the politico-talking heads come out when a situation like this develops; to whit: they ALL want to look their best). Being the Mayor of any urban town, cannot be easy. Damned if you do; damned if you don't. Turns out, the whole shebang was somewhat over hyped, but watching some of the footage now of Downtown Manhattan is downright scary. Me, these days, I prefer to be a bit over cautious.

**** CHERRY GROVE GOSSIP **** Petra Brehl Welcomes You To Dune Point We are planning our September vacation to Cherry Grove Fire Island for Cherry's On The Bay's annual Christmas party on the 17th. We just love our off season vacations at our favorite place in the world, Dune Point. During the month of September, Cherry Grove has their Christmas and Halloween parties and they are so magical. The weather is always beautiful and even if it rains, magic is still in the air. We do go out to Cherry Grove during the summer, but September is the month we love the most, because most of the world is back into their 9 to 5 grind and working, and we are ready to relax. On the rare occasion when we are up early in Times Square, we watch thousands of people running to their office to start their day. It is a sick sight to see. We just can not understand how people live their life this way. Everyday the same thing. They get on a train from Long Island or other ...
