    The hawk post is amazing! Drama! The poor bird must have been so exhausted. Nice to see there are still compassionate, animal loving people in our neighborhood - minus the jerk with the newspaper - who help keep these birds safe.

    RE: proposed LES Historic district, I hope that those organizations who are in support also create funding for those property owners cuz maintaining those bldgs is going to cost alot of money. For ex. Landmarks preservation will not allow replacing front facing windows with energy efficient models as they are not period to the homes.
