Back to sunrises (March 7th, March 17th) and snow (March 7th and March 13th).

March 18th - Boston Flower Show
We left Queens at 7:30 a.m. and got to the Seaport World Trade Center in Boston at 11:30 a.m. Some passengers
stayed on the bus and they headed to the Aquarium. At 1 p.m., we headed to the Aquarium, picked up the other
passengers and then we all headed to Quincy Market. Quincy Market is a mall with lots of stores and lots to eat.
We left Quincy Market at 4 and arrived in Rego Park at about 8:30 p.m.

March 29, 2018 - Easter Celebration: Center Courtyard, LeFrak City.
A few kids at the Celebration asked to use my camera. For the photos one of the kids took of me, please go
to bottom of About Me 2. Click here. I am not posting photos of the kids since I did not get permission.

Everyone having a good time.

April 2nd - Snow. April 4th - Fog.

April 16th - Attended a rally on the steps of City Hall. The Board of Election has been trying to move our polling
place out of LeFrak City. Prior to all this mess, the 5 buildings voted in the Continental Room, which I think is
too small for all the voting residents of LeFrak City. For the 2017 primary, 4 Sections were moved to PS 13 and
Section 5 was moved to the High School of Arts and Business. The court ruled that the residents of LeFrak
could return to voting in the Continental Room. In November 2017, the 4 Sections returned to the Continental Room
and Section 5 stayed in the High School. The Board decided to appeal the decision. We are now awaiting the
court's decision. (Update, August 23, 2020 - Eventually, Sections 1, 2 and 3 were allowed to vote in the
Continental Room and Sections 4 and 5 began to use the library. So the polling site Sections remained on the
LeFrak premises.)

While listening to the speeches, a group of firefighters appeared. I was told by an American firefighter that the men
were from Poland. I took these two photos.

On the grounds of City Hall.

April 17th - Lobby Day, Albany. We visited Albany to petition Senators to co-sponsor 4 bills that would
change the rent laws.
