Our number one fun in the sun preference is Orchard Beach, NY also known as The Bronx Riviera. The real reason is that it is next to our headquarters on City Island - A Slice of New York City Paradise.  https://www.nycgo.com/venues/orchard-beach. Don’t forget it: Orchard Beach is the gem of the Bronx! Make the most of your #SummerOfNYC and catch some rays and waves this weekend. #InTheBronx

ELSA Go Away

The first storm of the season to effect the eastern seaboard is something Elsa altogether as it soaked the East Coast with an unrelenting weather system that claimed one life in Florida, injured several in Georgia, and flooded sections of New York City streets and subways.

As Elsa keeps powering over the eastern mid-Atlantic region it is expected to move near or over the northeastern United States. No significant change in strength is expected today, and Elsa is forecast to become a post-tropical cyclone. 

Killer Climate Change

Scientists point to the deadly Northwest heatwave as the climate change culprit and warn of more extreme heat as commonplace.

As climate change deniers show how dumb they are, the scientific community continues comparing the shocking temperatures in Oregon, Washington state, and British Columbia. Differentiating a forecast in Canada from a forecast in Phoenix is usually a breeze, but not this June.

Severe thunderstorms capable of mainly damaging winds are possible over a portion of the Northeast.

I like to call City Island - A Slice of NYC Paradise because it is a quaint peaceful place on the most northeastern point of New York City.

On this Independence Day,  Americans should be free from voter suppression and the deprivation of Our God-given rights: “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed ... with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Not even The Crazy Tourist considered mentioning this free for all attraction on places to go and things to see at Grantham, England.

Miami Nice

The City of Miami is where I went to college, eloped with my high school sweetheart, and where my gorgeous daughters were born. 

This image shows Bayshore Drive, looking south from Flagler Street during the roaring 20s. The entrance to the new Dixie Pier is seen on the left.

Built back in 1923 it was situated just south of the Elser Pier at the foot of E. Flagler St. Many fishing boats and excursion vessels for trips into the bay and up the Miami River to the Everglades were docked at the Dixie Pier.
