The low end of the Riverside market continues to flourish
/
17 Miltiades Avenue, listed at $1.350 million, has sold for $1.250. A number of my contemporaries bought here in the 80s because it offered good “starter-home” pricing and lots of young parents and small kids as neighbors. That still seems to be the case.
It's not really anyone's fault, I suppose
/
16 Rock Ridge Avenue, which started at $11.9 million back in April, 2018, has cut its price to $7.9. The seller paid Ivan Lendle $4.8 million for the house in 1993 ($8,523,000 in current dollars), and “invested” more in updating/renovating it.
The $12 million range is pretty thin these days, as this seller has discovered, but maybe the $8 bracket will prove more hospitable. I note that the listing offers a $300,000 credit towards the building of a three-car garage, though whether that’s just an additional price cut, or the buyer would have to commit to actually building a garage is left unclear. Curious.
Riversville Road contract
/
350 Riversville Road, asking $2.150 million. Built in 2007 to replace an 1848 Italianate, this rather plebeian structure never appealed to me, but at least, at $2 million, it’s more attractive than the $3,187,900 these owners paid for it back in 20017.
The listing claims that unspecified “renovations” were performed in 2017; I hope they weren’t expensive.
They don't make land buyers the way they used to

58-acre lot on Sabine Farm (off Round Hill) dropped from $9.5 million yesterday to $5.9 million today. It’s all third-growth, overgrown pasture now, and 35 acres of it are reserved conservation land, but still, there are three lots to be carved out here, and you’d think they’d be worth something, Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Well if you won't abort it to save the planet, at least let us show you how to ruin the brat's life
/While Bernie Sanders is busy advocating U.S. taxpayers subsidizing third-world abortions because climate change, another taxpayer-funded group has been working on the products of abortion failures:
Planned Parenthood transplains how to introduce transgenderism to your 3-year-old.
According to Fox News, the abortion giant is now advising parents on how to teach preschoolers about their bodies via their website, by telling them that “boy” and “girl” are just words:
On a page of its website titled “How do I talk with my preschooler about their body?” the abortion provider says if a child inquires why boys and girls have different bodies, a parent should introduce the concept of transgender identity.
“While the most simple answer is that girls have vulvas and boys have penises/testicles, that answer isn’t true for every boy and girl,” the organization says. “Boy, girl, man and woman are words that describe gender identity, and some people with the gender identities ‘boy’ or ‘man’ have vulvas, and some with the gender identity ‘girl’ or ‘woman’ have penises/testicles. Your genitals don’t make you a boy or a girl.”
None of this is accidental.

578 Riversville Rd
578 Riversville Road, discussed here when it was pending at $4.995 million, has closed at $4.6. Owners paid Tommy Hilfiger $7.8 for it in 2006. He, in turn, paid $5 million for it in 2000.
And 108 John Street cut its price today to $4.499 million. It started off at $6.3 in September, 2017, and maybe this will prove to be the right price.
On a far brighter note, 41 Binney Lane, in Old Greenwich, is pending. It’s currently asking $11.750 million, and I had feared that the 1895 structure was doomed to be razed and the lot sold off as land. Spectacular waterfront land, mind you, but land all the same. But not at this price; it appears that someone intends to retain the house, and that’s good news.
Riverside sale
/
27 Meadow Road, sold for $2.3 million. Originally asked $2.950 back in September, 2017, but you don’t always get what you want. Purchased for $2.785 in 2011, so this must have stung a bit. Still, while it takes a nice picture, the house itself was built to modest standards in 1979 when the lot it sits on was spun off of the original Marks house, and $2.3 seems an appropriate value.
Does this mean we can expect Nashville realtors to be coming our way?
/Report: Fairfield locations the local hot spots for illicit gay sex
An internet investigation revealed that Grace Richardson Park is popular among public sex forums, specifically those catering to the LGBTQ community. Hubs included the websites “Cruising Gays City Hookup Guide” and “Men 4 Sex Now,” as well as “Squirt,” a popular website and app that describes itself as a place "where men meet other men for sex, cruising, hookups, dating, fun and friendship."
Both Squirt and Cruising Gays say that the park is busiest in the daytime, particularly during lunchtime and after work. Cruising Gays writes that sexual activity is popular in both the area’s parking lots and trails.
I’ve never understood the drive among a portion of the male homosexual world to have sex with strangers in public places, whether it’s at the Metropolitan Opera, highway rest areas, beaches, etc. It’s a phenomenon not limited to the Nancy Pants set, of course, but generally, it seems that if there’s a flock of frolicking fukkers causing a scene in a public area, you’ll find a pile of discarded loafers nearby.
Weird.
