Back in October 2008, after looking around the Internet I found a number of YouTube Video’s tagged Haverstraw that had obvious gang connotations. Kinda like a map for bangers, with Hershey’s and Broad Street and 501 cars and handguns. Not that there weren’t other vids from North Rockland but back in early 2008 there was [...]

June 27th, 2010 by Bart
I wrote desalination-or-obscurification-in-north-rockland, a blog about the United Water Suez desalination proposal almost 18 months ago, when I saw the first mentions of a desalination plant as a solution to the P.S.C. Rate Case United Water had recently settled. The Town of Haverstraw, always quick to latch onto a solid ratable, has positioned itself as [...]
A Beach Road Makeover: Haverstraw
April 22nd, 2010 by Bart
I sat down today to write about how so many things have changed in North Rockland in the past 20 years, and I realized that the one place that hasn’t changed is Beach Road in Haverstraw.

January 9th, 2009 by Bart
You really have to hand it to the Rockland County Highway Department and the New York State Department of Transportation.

January 2nd, 2009 by Bart
Traveling around the Village lately I have seen that many people, old and young, have no clue about the dangers around them. Mothers walking babies in strollers down the middle of Maple Ave, schoolkids dodging out on Broadway on the way to school, jaywalkers at New Main and Maple, and residents crowding Main Street on Saturday night make [...]
Are the Short Clove bids out of wack?
April 20th, 2008 by Bart
As we all know, traffic in North Rockland is getting worse but there are a number of new jobs in the offing that will help reduce the strain. The problem is getting the job done in a reasonable and organized manner. Some of the most recent infrastructure jobs in both Haverstraw’s lacked some finishing touches, like detour signs and flagmen, which [...]
Union Restaurant and Bar Latino
April 2nd, 2008 by Bart
The menu offers Latin-inspired dishes and Latin-infused takes on Continental standards, frequently with a great deal of success. It’s not a total culinary makeover, but well-known dishes are freshened with new accessories. Owners Paulo Feteira and David Martinez come with sterling credentials, but the food, service and the wine list are still evolving. Even so, [...]
