Spring heat wave causes flower explosion!

Cherry blossoms at BBG

I highly recommend going before this weekend
(the official Sakura Matsuri festival),
as the crowds get intense.

Also, the blooms are at their peak right now as you can see.

Don't miss the lilacs which are just coming into bloom and smell heavenly.

I wanted to put my feet in the stream like this red-tailed hawk.

Open House Report

Sam has kindly opened up his blog to another trying-to-be 34 Crooke owner. I am also a first time buyer and have been in Brooklyn for the last 10 years. This is my inaugural contribution to any blog so forgive me if make any faux pas. I do have good news from the open house. The gas meters are connected! And there has been progress on unpacking those machines in the gym. Unfortunately it looks like only one cardio machine, the lonely treadmill. The roof deck is progressing, but is abutting a set of skylights... and flashing continues to peel off the roof. Let's hope these issues get addressed before our closings.
