LTE: What are you thankful for?

By | Posted November 3rd, 2021 |

I am thankful that you are still around so I can see and imagine what is going on in my Beloved Northeast. I lived at one time on White Avenue, on Quincy Avenue and other places in Northeast for many years. I now live in West Melbourne, Florida, but believe it or not there are quite a few of us here. The Mattlys & the Woods. I am so amazed how much Northeast has changed. Some for the good and some not so good. I love reading all the news about Northeast. I even remember going to Northeast Food Market, to the Velvet Freeze on St. John & when there was a Quick Trip where the laundry mat is now. My siblings and I used to even throw the Northeast News in the 1970’s. I love that you are keeping an essential to the neighborhood alive.
