Successful City Island Street Fair

Executive Producer Spotted at City Island Street Fair
The two day City Island Fair was a success this year. The weather was fabulous and so was the attendance.
One of the people who enjoyed the event was NYC Council member Jimmy Vacca, who was accompanied by a higher ranking VIP. No it was not Mayor Bloomberg, Governor Cuomo, or President Obama. That attractive and delightful lady who arrived with our favorite councilman was none other than his proud mom.
CI A Brilliant Place To Retire
Our nation's oldest baby boomers have begun turning 65 this year. While some have already retired and others will work for years to come, they stand to reshape retirement, just as they did every other stage of their lives. That's especially true when it comes to where to live: While the previous generation might have been happy to put aside careers and seek out an endless summer in Florida or Arizona, no single approach to retirement is going to work for this diverse bunch. This group has too much going on: They're educated; many love to travel; they're active, curious, and social. So as we went in search of the best place to retire, we recommend the city for the urban-inclined, a park side town for lovers of the outdoors, and a beach destination for lovers of the water and sun worshipers. After all, if baby boomers hate one thing, it's being boxed in. Now, even in their golden years, they don't have to be.
Retirees don't have to trade in fun in the sun and golf for life in the big city and the convenience of having stores and amenities in close proximity. New York City has seen an influx of the over-65 set. When it comes to city living, though, it's hard to beat City Island for its size, quality of life, culture, and abundance of outdoor activities. For those who want to continue to work, it's particularly ideal: The area is home to plenty of start-ups hungry for your business advice.
