bike locker 2/16/12BIKE LOCKER LOTTERY FOR BELLMORE STATION


In yet another article promoting the myriad benefits of bicycle riding, I came across this interesting incentive in the newspaper:

Until March 19th @ 4 p.m., Bellmore residents can submit an entry form to possibly win one of eight available bike lockers for a no-cost, one year lease. Lottery applications can be obtained by calling 516.812.3026

The lockers are located at the Bellmore Long Island Railroad station on the north side of the tracks and require a $40 key deposit which is refunded at the end of the year. The Dept. of Transportation provides bike lockers that are 4 ft tall, 6 ft long and 3 1/4 ft deep. according to the town officials who further state that subleasing is not permitted.

The lottery will be held on April 2nd, during which time winners will be randomly selected and given access to the bike lockers the very same day.

Real Estate Market Conditions in Bellmore, NY- The Whole Picture - Sold Homes May 1-31, 2011 & Current MLS Listings

Geri Sonkin - Long Island Real Estate: Real Estate Agent in Merrick, NY

Bellmore real estate market

If you're thinking about buying or selling real estate in Bellmore on Long Island, you'd be wise to take a look at the statistics and see what they're telling us.  Understand, however, when you do your research, you can only see data of homes sold during a finite time period, in this case, May 1 - 31, 2011.  It may not include the style and/or location of a property that is of interest to you, so the numbers could be skewed. 

While statistics can certainly give us some indication of what current real estate market conditions are in Bellmore, they are just one of many reference points that can help us in a search for a home or a proper pricing strategy for selling your home.

The first chart shows you the statistics for May, 2011 for closed sales in all the Bellmores (North Bellmore, Bellmore and South Bellmore).

Memorial Day Weekend Events - Jones Beach Air Show

Geri Sonkin - Long Island Real Estate: Real Estate Agent in Merrick, NY

I decided to do an Open House on my South Bellmore waterfront property today with the full realization that the likelihood was, there would be little to no traffic on this absolutely beautiful Memorial Day weekend. After a brutal winter and a water logged spring, people were champing at the bit to have something to celebrate. With events all over Long Island commemorating the reason for this holiday, those who died in the service of this country, there was no shortage of places to go. All you needed was some gas in your car and a willingness to deal with the traffic to get there.

Long Island Memorial Day Bethpage Federal Credit Union Air Show

I got unexpectedly lucky. Forget about foot traffic into my listing, there was little vehicular traffic on the streets anywhere in town. I decided finally to get some air and possibly take a short walk down the street to get some exercise. As I approached my car, to put some things away, I looked up in response to a cacophonous sound that made me jump just a little. There, above me, in perfect formation were a few of the planes from the Bethpage Federal Credit Union air show at Jones beach.

Reaching for my camera, which these days has a semi permanent perch in my passenger seat, I had to change lenses to try to capture anything of the show before it disappeared into the ether. Though I missed the best shots, I did manage to get a few on their last run.

Tomorrow, on what was originally called Decoration Day, I will take a few moments to reflect, in grateful appreciation, on all those who fought valiantly and died to keep us free. There is no greater gift. God bless them all.
