215 Clapboard Ridge Road was priced at $4.995 million in September 2019 and sat on the market through July 2020. It came back on this time at $5.195 and has gone to contract in 30 days.
Built by Wadia, one of our very best builders, in 1985.
30 Verona Drive, Riverside, $3.395 million, 14 days to contract. Custom-built for these owners in 2001, a period of regrettable architecture, but Verona’s a nice, quiet dead-end, and this family obviously were content to stay here for 20 years, so what’s to complain about? I hope the new owners will be as happy and enjoy it as long.

95% of Metro-North’s traffic disappeared at the height of the panicdemic, and it’s still down 79%.
I’m still a fan of the synergy created in an office filled with co-workers, but there must be a huge number of people who’ve discovered that they don’t need to be in office 5 days a week, and corporations that have learned that they don’t need huge amounts of expensive office space to accommodate everyone, every day.
No wonder suburban home prices are soaring.
14 Baldwin Farms S., asking $5.850 million. started at $6.8 million 551 days ago.
This was a failed building project back in 2008 that was foreclosed on by Patriot Bank and eventually finished by another contractor, who sold it for $5,462,500 in 2011. Nice back yard, good finishes inside, I’ve always been a bit dubious about the pond/swampy thing that serves as its front yard.
No, I have no idea what this is, either. Not a zebra though, i don’t think
Health Digest: Things You Should Never Do Between COVID-19 Doses. It’s mostly a rehash and repetition of now-discredited “expert” advice from last year, so it provides an interesting look back at what was being touted as “science” during the past 12 months, but some of it is still being pushed by Monkey Fauci and our CDC to this day.
242 Riverside Avenue, asking $3.5 million, under contract in 4 days, which means a bidding war.
Owners paid $3.150 in 2018 — this is a good market to unload unwanted real estate.
I suggested that this would go quickly when it hit the market last week. Which doesn’t mean much, of course, because any other agent following the market would have told you the same thing. and obviously, several agents did.

A racist attacker brutally beat an Asian woman who was walking to her church in Midtown on Monday morning — as a security guard in a nearby building watched and did nothing to help, according to police and footage of the incident.
The unidentified suspect spewed anti-Asian statements as he punched and kicked the 65-year-old woman on West 43rd Street near Ninth Avenue at about 11:40 a.m., according to cops.
“F–k you, you don’t belong here,” the brute yelled at the woman, according to sources.
Video footage of the assault provided by police shows the suspect kicking the victim to the ground — then stomping her in the head several times as she was down on the sidewalk.
… [One} of those men appears to shut the building door as the attacker takes off and the victim lies helplessly, according to the video.
The victim, who suffered a fractured pelvis, was taken to NYU Langone Hospital, where she was listed in stable condition, authorities said.

I tried unsuccessfully just now to find a YouTube version of the NYPD video of this attack, but have a gander at what the search term for “attack on Asian women” turned up. Five cents for each video readers can find showing a white, supremacist or not, whupping on an asian.
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! Black man attacks Asian in Brooklyn Home Depot store.
The 28-year-old victim in Brooklyn was with his girlfriend at the store in East New York around 2:30 p.m. Monday when a stranger approached the couple, menacing them with a 2×4 piece of lumber, cops said.
“Why you with that little d- -k Asian n—-r?’’ the suspect asked the woman, who is not Asian, according to police and a source.
He then snarled at her boyfriend, “I’ll cut you, you f–king Asian,’’ cops said. “Don’t call anyone. I’m a Blood, I’ll shoot you.”
*Since we’re all to be defined by skin color now, I’m reverting to the old derogatory, racist term employed by Democrats in the past century. FDR? Robert Byrd? Joe Biden? You still here?

Cop-killer now sitting on police-reform committee
He fatally shot an NYPD cop execution-style decades ago in a Queens bar — and now Richard Rivera is helping reform police in upstate New York as part of a state-mandated plan launched by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
The cop-killer — who murdered off-duty officer and dad-of-four Robert Walsh in 1981 — sits on a panel for Ithaca and Tompkins County as part of its “Reimagining Public Safety Collaborative.’’
The advisory group was formed after Cuomo ordered municipalities to submit police-reform plans to the state by April 1 following George Floyd’s death.
Rivera was 16 years old when he and four other gun-toting teens donned masks and strolled into the BVD Bar and Grill in Maspeth just after midnight Jan. 12, 1981, looking to rob the joint.
Officer Walsh, a 36-year-old highly decorated cop with 12 years on the force, was inside wearing a cowboy hat hanging out after his shift.
What unfolded next was nothing short of a coldblooded “execution,’’ a police official said in a front-page Post article at the time.
As the hero off-duty officer identified himself as a cop and reached for his gun to try to stop the robbery, Rivera shot him in the shoulder. Rivera then walked over to the officer as he lay helplessly wounded on the floor, pressed his gun to the cop’s head and blasted him again, authorities said.
“I guess it was just something he felt like doing,’’ the police official said of Rivera.
The teenage killer spent 39 years behind bars for the cold-blooded killing, before being released in 2019.
Almost all of us need do-overs, but for some, that should only come from God, in the hereafter, having forfeited that right in this life.
'“I mean, it’s like, you know, kids finding guns in their parents’ house.”
Fox News' Juan Williams on the two teenage girls charged in the murder of Uber Eats driver Muhammad Anwar: "I don’t think they intended to kill anybody. They were looking to have a joy ride. It went went way wrong, way out of control and ended up in a gross tragedy."
Why is this man on Fox, and why hasn’t he been shipped back to NPR, from whence he came, and where he belongs?
