    Feels a little low, if that does sell in the 7.5 range, I’d imagine that number would be going up pretty substantively.

    One jobs report, that was a little weak, and the Feds Bullard says the report could lead the Fed to cut rates sooner. Maybe less chatter from the Fed is in order

    We know the owners. The previous owner, the original Karen, once stood up at a council meeting and yelled, “I pay $90,000 in property taxes and the schools still suck.” So that tax rate is quite the reduction. The house was renovated with some crazy expensive, but top quality features. The windows in their pool extension were from France if I recall correctly, and the huge pool complex has a custom made humidity control system to keep the all that glass and moisture from turning into mold. Daybreak was also one of the original Edison poured concrete homes and co rained one of the world’s first central vacuum systems. We went to a party there once. Our table of twenty or so people was located on the stair landing between the first and second floor. The maids quarters were larger than the first floor of our actual home. Heck, the carriage house is larger than our home.

    What that mere summer cottage?

    “ There are two Daybreaks in Montclair. The other Daybreak, the one at 99 Lloyd Road formerly owned by Michael Strahan, sold for $3,845,426 in December 2010, according to Zillow. It had been listed at one point for a whopping $7,750,000.

    More background on the two Daybreaks from historian Frank Gerard Godlewski:

    Energy Assessment IN POST HZ Jan 2 – 16 PINK GIF
    There are really two Daybreaks. The Daybreak gateposts on South Mountain lead up a steep winding lane to the first Daybreak on Lloyd Road, now the Strahan House. The Strahan house belonged to the Dear family. Some of their descendants still live in town. E. F. Hutton married the Dear’s daughter in his second marriage. His first wife was Marjorie Merryweather Post and they had lived in South Orange. This was all very talked about back then. Noel Brogan’s Daybreak was built about five years after the Strahan’s Daybreak and prior to the practically twin Daybreak houses, the property was a Victorian working farm estate that extended south to Union Street. Noel who many many years ago was Daybreak’s next-door neighbor, brought the house from the Hand family who were practically the original owners. This was the Hand’s summerhouse. They wintered in Palm Beach. Before leaving for Palm Beach each year, they would throw a ball and as party favors, they would give each guest a Daybreak Highball Glass with the date of their return to Montclair etched onto it. Noel has a reserve of their glasses as souvenirs.”

    It wasn’t just NVDA, Some of these charts (ANF, COST) look pretty ridiculous and printed gigantic red candles.

    You are correct BRT. Even Cathy Woods new it. That’s how obvious this is.

    Hehe

    Katie Britt was dismissed as a ‘lying sack of s***’ and accused of weaponizing a child rape victim as fact checkers got to work on her State of the Union response.

    Her emotive story of a 12-year-old rape victim to illustrate the border crisis under Joe Biden sparked outrage after it emerged the girl’s ordeal actually took place in Mexico when George W Bush was president, according to reports.

    ‘I don’t know what the F I saw,’ said former Fox host Megyn Kelly, ‘she embarrassed herself, she embarrassed Republicans, and she embarrassed women.’

    Katie Britt’s video is what a typical suburban housewife is today in America.

    Scarlett Johansen tried her best to imitate her crazy on SNL last night, and although she was good was not able to accurately portray the mental instability of that creature who is an elected official.

    This is what America is voting for.

    You had to be a dolt to pull the lever for that one.

  10. Hughesrep says:

    She’s from Alabama, they are all dolt’s. She’s just the southern version of an evangelical Stepford wife.

    Bless her heart.

  11. Hughesrep says:
    March 10, 2024 at 12:25 pm

    She said something about how hard it was in Alabama to solve crime. Best response I saw was that it was because they don’t have dental records and all the DNA match.

    I like Scarlett..solid actress and very attractive. Did not knock out of park but some laughs I think Kate McKinnon would have been perfect.

    Phoenix,

    Funny stuff going around about her voice. They are calling it ‘submissive fundie baby voice’…hah. It is the same voice used by wives ot fundamentalist Chtistian past, hocking Jesus to fund their mega estates

    You guys know better than I but that tax bill looks ridiculously low if 7.5 is anywhere near market value…if or when assessed comes even close to market that should seriously be a double, no?

    I so appreciate history especially in this time of social media where every utterance of every one is micro-analyzed every second with little context…

    The longer arc of time portrays much more accurately than any one data point today ever could the continued transformative decline of these once grand suburbs into modern day Queens, c. Exit 25.

    Enjoy your Mayberry Sunday :)

    Bystander,
    No one could have knocked it out of the park better than the freak talking.

    Some women today are total psychos. Tons on redditpublicfreakout and you see what you are dealing with.

    But if they are attractive physically, hell, just get them a job in Congress. Looks seem to be the way women are getting those jobs-not by talent. Is that DEI?

    Scarlett’s husband and his partner did probably the best Weekend Update in a long time. This show has more misses than hits, but when they get it right, it’s a hoot.

    Sorry LW,
    You aren’t wealthy enough or connected enough to get that kind of tax break.

    Here is your pickaxe. Get back to the mines. Oh, and don’t forget your obligations the court gave you to your ex.

    There’s a new documentary coming this Tuesday from Netflix called Turning Point: The Bomb and the Cold War.

    The bits you can see in the trailer, and material for the show, were filmed in that silo in Tuscon I mentioned some time back. The control room, the silo with missle, the suits, all of that is an amazing walking tour.

    Any cold war buffs would do well to include a Tuscon stop on your next west coast trip.

    Left: uppity twat who lives down the street is from Fresh Meadows. I heard it in her accent. Married a Princeton guy. He is so nice. I feel bad for him. She has a total inferiority complex. Once I figured out her neuroses, I keep making comments to make her uncomfortable.

    We should be good friends. They are all Met fans etc, but she is too much of a loser. Now her sons both ended up at Tennessee, and her daughter and my son are in the same classes. My kids are running circles around them.

    Left and Phx aren’t wrong. So many decent guys who have been swindled by agents of darkness with a hole in their soul like an animal.
