You originally learned from City Island Images, which broke the story about a City Islander running for NYC Mayor.
City Islander Adolfo Carrion says that after working for three years with President Obama at the White House and then at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, he decided to come home to The Bronx, start a new business, and has now thrown his hat in the political ring to run for Mayor of our beloved New York City.

On this Presidents Day, which one happens to be your favorite and why?
Although it is Washington's birthday, this day is also known as Presidents' Day. This is a federal holiday held on the third Monday of February.
This day honors presidents of the United States. The history of Presidents' Day has links to our national parks that is set aside to commemorate Washington, Lincoln, and other past U.S. Presidents.
A six-second kiss is one fun activity, which all couples can include in their shedules. It's long enough to feel romantic, it serves as a pause within a busy day and it creates a definite break between the work mentality and that couple’s togetherness.
This six-second kiss is a fraction of the five hours of time that happy couples are devoting to their relationships each week. Time spent intentionally focusing on their partners during reunions/partings also comprise an important component of the five hours that couples invest into their relationships each week.

This Week in History, Feb 17 - Feb 23

Madame Butterfly premieres. Giacomo Puccini's opera Madame Butterfly premieres at the La Scala theatre in Milan, Italy. The young Puccini decided to dedicate his life to opera after seeing a performance of Giuseppe Verdi's Aida in 1876. In his later life, he would write some of the best-loved operas of all time: La Boheme (1896), Tosca (1900), Madame Butterfly (1904) and Turandot (left unfinished when he died in 1906). Not one of these, however, was an immediate success when it opened. La Boheme, the now-classic story of a group of poor artists living in a Paris garret, earned mixed reviews, while Tosca was downright panned by critics.
