Public Comment on Farmers Market Idea Encouraged

To the Pelham Community,

A FARMER'S MARKET - HERE?

Are you a self-proclaimed foodie? What does it for you? Does the thought of fresh, sweet corn make you wistful for summer? Or, how about gorgeous heirloom tomatoes, practically bursting at the seams they're so juicy. Perhaps warm, cider donuts sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon sounds enticing to you. What if you could have all that and more, while strolling around with the kids in a safe, friendly, unhurried environment, to pick up an organic, grass fed portion of tender sirloin, and crisp veggies to toss onto the grill that evening?

Where could you sample this little slice of heaven? Right here, at our own front door! The Village of Pelham has a wonderful opportunity to bring The Community Market Farmers Market to us this year!

You may have already sampled some goodies from her outdoor markets in Larchmont, Bronxville, or Rye. Owner Miriam Haas started her first market in nearby Ossining in 1991. She works with local farmers, bakers and other venders who specialize in quality, many times organic, produce, meats, baked goods, wines, jams, honey, and cheeses, bringing their delectable selections to us in a welcoming, friendly fashion – the outdoor market.

The Board of Trustees in the Village of Pelham is reviewing a proposal from The Community Market Farmers Market and would like your input! The proposal for the outdoor market indicates it would be open to the public once a week, between June and November. The proposed location would be on Harmon Avenue. Ms. Haas indicated that for her to secure the vendors for this year, a commitment from The Village Board is needed by mid-February.

To show your support for this endeavor, that could be a positive link to the revitalization of downtown Pelham, please contact the Village Board via e-mail at www.pelhamgov.com. Check the comment box, and type in your opinion in the space provided. Please, also plan to attend the next Village Board meeting next Tuesday, Feb. 5, at 7:30pm at Village Hall on Sparks Avenue, where your public comments will be welcomed.

Bartow-Pell Mansion's Gardens of the Night Fundraiser on May 12

2007-05-07T05:59:00.000-04:00

The International Garden Club, Inc. will hold its annual spring gala, Gardens of the Night, on Saturday May 12, to support the Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum.

The evening will begin with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres in the Museum's gardens followed by themed dinners in private homes. The dinners will honor famous historic gardens, including: Villa d'Este – Italy, Green Park – England, Winterthur – United States, Parc Guell – Spain, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Summer Palace – China, Tuileries – France, Wave Hill – United States.
Reservations are requested. Ticket prices range from $135 to $250 per person. For more information, call 718-885-1461 or send an email to info@bpmm.org.

The International Garden Club opened the Bartow-Pell Mansion as a museum in 1946 and continues to curate what is now a fine collection of period furnishings, fine arts, and decorative arts. The site and its structures have been cared for by the IGC through its fundraisers and appeals.

Over the last year the IGC Board and staff have developed a Strategic Plan for 2007-09. It was adopted in February of this year along with this revised mission statement: "As the last remaining 'great country estate' in the Bronx Pelham Bay Park, Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum's mission is to create a vibrant site through the preservation, restoration and interpretation of the property and grounds for the benefit of the public through the New York City metro region and beyond." Proceeds of the Gardens of the Night event will assist in implementation of the Strategic Plan.

In 2001, he bought a home here, paying $225 per square foot.

He's quoted in Today's New York Times: “I come from a blue-collar background,” he explained, “but I bought into Pelham years ago at the right time, so I can afford this.”

"This" is Cappelli's Residences at the Ritz-Carlton Westchester, slated for 2008 occupancy and "he" is a Pelham homeowner who picked the right town five years ago. Full story by Elsa Brenner.

Real Estate Garage Values

as posted by Catharine P. Taylor to adfreak.com
". . .The founders of Google . . . stay ahead of the curve:

"They bought the garage—and the house, too—in Menlo Park, Calif., where they founded the company. It was leased to them in the late 1990s for $1,700 a month by Susan Wojcicki, the company’s current vp of product management.

"The company won’t say how much it bought the property for, but pieces of real estate in the area with less legendary status have been selling in the $1.1 million to $1.3 million range. Google also isn’t sure what it’s going to do with the property, although tour buses already are known to swing by, no doubt delighting the neighbors.

"Other garages of note:
The Palo Alto location where Hewlett-Packard started and the Los Altos garage where Apple began."
