SCHOOLS STADIUM No work has begun. Yet a vendor is selling Yankee shirts outside of the stadium. He must be confused.
The gate was locked today.
FIRST STREET PARK I corrected my goof last month. There are no Tiki Barber signs. The signs are for a Tike Play Area. The little park closer to Park Avenue has had new sidewalks and walkways put in. it appears they have left areas for gardens and benches. It is fenced in and closed to the public. The old tennis courts are occupied by heavy construction equipment, but only one workman was working today smoothing out soil. There is a playgound for small children and a full size basketball court. There is a lot of digging going on and it appears like plenty of work left to do. I still think there should be a sign mentioning that BOBBY MOLINARO used to play there.
BOYS PARK It is also fenced in with a sign "closed for construction". Two regulation size basketball courts, benches and a play area are in the section of the park facing Sussex Avenue. They must have laid new sod because I have never seen such beautiful grass on Boys Park. Much heavy equipment, but only one person working in a steam shovel digging in the middle of the park. Quite a bit of work to be done. I wonder if they will be renovating the entire park, or just the area near Sussex Avenue?
102 FOURTH STREET house is for sale "as is". Looks like paint job is about 40 years old. Digging being done all over South Roseville and it appears there are above ground temporary water pipes. Sussex Avenue School has been renamed Sussex Avenue School for the Arts and Sciences.
New restaurant on Orange Street between Roseville Avenue and Seventh Street called Coney Island Restuarant feauring Hulan
Food.(sic?) The Clipper Ship refers to itself as an African-American Resturant featuring a Liberian Meeting Hall.
Have to get over to the cherry blossoms this weekend.
