the house is well maintained.

It was rumored they won lotto and spent it all at the rp statuary.

How about that house on Salisbury Park Drive that someone wrote about on here a few years ago, with the life-sized faux day laborers "working" on the house???

I can't post pix, I"m not there. Sorry!

Most of these people in the old days would be labelled as eccentric. Nowadays there is a pharmaceutical tailored for their problem.

Haha I was thinking of that house as I read through this thread. Here's a post about it: https://www.city-data.com/forum/long-...other-day.html

When I was going to St. John's the neighborhood across the street had some really nice tudor style homes. People began to buy them and replace them with these huge orange brick monstrosities, pave over the lawn, metal gates. I ended up seeing an article about it http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/05/ny...pagewanted=all

I pass this house often, I think its fun-looking. I would imagine the neighbors hate it, though.

Those are completely hideous. They look like they are owned by gypsies.

Same thing is happening in the flushing/bayside/fresh meadows area except done by koreans. You can always tell if a house is owned by koreans...they love stainlesss steel gates and doors

We sold a family home in Bayside. I was there a couple of months ago and the Korean family which bought it hasn't done much other than the gated exterior door, remove some of the shrubs and add some concrete.
