The condominium building at the entrance to Harbors is unfinished, and will likely stay unfinished until a majority of the units are sold for that building particularly. At this moment, I believe, there are not enough units sold in the building to justify finishing it. Unfortunately for us, the "Revitalization" is only slowed down by this. What we need to do is not rely on Ginsburg to make our downtown thrive. We need to get others to come and patronize the downtown and act more locally to sustain this Revitalization Movement in the Village. Please, support local stores and restaurants. Keep and eye out for and report crimes. Together, we can work to move our Revitalization forward. As you know, the housing market has slowed down significantly across the nation.

I am wondering what the future is for the Harbors. That yellow half finished mess is supposed to anchor our renewal. If that look is our future, Haverstraw is in big trouble.

Yes, it is more than possible to do what you are proposing. Here is the NYWaterway Ferry (Ossining to Haverstraw) Schedule: http://nywaterway.com/Home/RidetheFerry/SchedulesRoutes/ViewSchedule/tabid/133/Default.aspx?ID=96 Here is the New York Water Taxi (Haverstraw to Yonkers to World Financial Center/Wall Street) Schedule: http://www.nywatertaxi.com/commuters/hudsonriver/ You can take the 6:30am ferry (NY Waterway) from Ossining to Haverstraw, and then get on the 7:00am ferry (NY Water Taxi) from Haverstraw to Lower Manhattan. It might just be the perfect commute, if it works out. It would cost you $15.00 each way, and $460.00 per month, but it is an incredible view and is quite relaxing. I've taken the ferries to Yonkers from Haverstraw for dinner and then return to Haverstraw after dinner. You can be very creative with your commute now. Good Luck! Hi Dennis:

I enjoy taking the New York Water Taxi from Wall Street to Yonkers on occasion and am wondering if it is convenient to take the Water Taxi ferry to Haverstraw and then the ferry to Ossining. Do both ferries operate from the same pier at Haverstraw? I live in Ossining and work in the financial district.

Davis Sat, 06 Oct 2007 14:54:38 +0000 /about/#comment-409 My parents and I had the good fortune to visit Brook House in the summer of 1954, where my Uncle George and his wife of three years, Lenya, lived. It was a grand visit, and I remember the large house, the patio, the lower level, and (of course) the wonderful brook and the wooded hills on all sides. I would like to learn whether or not Brook House is still standing and whether or not any photographs still exist, especially photographs from the days of Kurt Weil and Lenya and from the days of my Uncle George and Lenya. Please email me at davis@ic.edu if you have any knowledge concerning Brook House, Weil, Lenya, or Uncle George, and any photos of Brook House. Aslo, would local newspapers in either Haverstraw or New City have issues from the early and mid 1950s? Finally, I have vivid childhood memories of staying with my family for some weeks in the summer of 1946 at my Uncle George's brownstone on East 86th Street. Would anyone in the Haverstraw/New City region have any memories or photos of that brownstone?

There are other articles with more updated information on the new ferry service. The last time I spoke to the head of transit project at the Rockland County Department of Planning, the start date for the Water Taxi service was the first week of August. I have not heard anything new since, and there hasn't been a press release. The new ferry boat will make port at the existing ferry landing (NY Waterway) in Haverstraw. I will continue to search for more information and contact the County. Until then, please continue to visit HaverstrawLife.com and feel free to converse with other readers!
