About Me

1I am a New York-bred transplanted Californian who is now stuck on Long Island.

I've lived in New York since birth except from 1993-2006 when I lived in California. I should have never left... California, that is.

The Check Is In The Mail

The transition from California to New York has occupied quite a bit of my time recently as one could imagine. My time has been occupied with getting settled, finding a job, and all of the other myriad of things that come along with moving across the North American continent.

Anyway, one of the great things that comes along with Google’s email, GMail, is their little blurb at the top of your inbox which routes you to information that might be of interest to you.

Among the things that appeared at the top of my inbox was a reference to Ask Yahoo and the question “What’s the estimated land value of Central Park in New York?”

Rather than keep you guessing, the answer is, according to Jonathan Miller, head of the property-appraisal firm Miller Samuel and published in New York Magazine on 26 December 2006,
$528, 783, 552, 000.

That’s $529 billion-with-a-B.

Don’t you know that there’s just some developer salivating with his checkbook open waiting for the opportunity of those 843 acres of prime Manhattan real estate to open up?

Ciao for now!
Mike
