A lot of people don't realize what Brooklyn has to offer due to Hollywood making it out to be this rough and tough area where mobsters, thugs and gangs flourish..lol<BR/><BR/>On another note, great to hear that you're a rabid (or somewhat rabid..just assuming, since most of us teeter around the 'rabid' level) Yankee fan!

I have been Jojo for 6 years now and my grandgirls wouldn't know my first name! <BR/><BR/>I love learning about historical sites to visit and you have showcased the house/museum beautifully in the snow. <BR/><BR/>A few years ago while visiting my girlfriend in Port Chester we went to visit Kykuit then drove around for a couple of hours looking at houses in the area. We took note of some of the painted ladies. My girlfriend used to volunteer with Philipsburg Manor.
