Yup, Seventh Floor, that's the building that I Love LI posted about. I guess they added the "II" after Mitchell Lama sold it. I was a patient of Dr. Kurtz. whose office was in the lobby of the building facing 105th Street for more than 30 years. Spent many summers as a guest at the pool, which was located in a particularly shady and windy spot. Bad place for a pool. Lots of memories. I still can't figure out how to upload my Sandy pictures on the CD site. I have several taken last Nov. in front of Surfside and Dayton.
In your profile you can make a picture album and save pics there. Also if you save your pics to a site like Flickr or Photobucket, you can then link to the pics in that in posts and show the whole pictures in your posts. Otherwise, when you link a picture from your computer it comes out in a post as a little thumbnail link and people have to click on it to see it. If you go search in CD's "Administration" Forum, there should be some information and "how to" stuff about adding photos.
Does that mean he did not evacuate and stayed during Sandy? LOL! So did our friend, even though he (and cat) were invited to our house! (He stayed there during Irene too.) He also parked his car somewhere on higher ground within walking distance of the building and it did not get flooded or ruined at all (it also did not get flooded during Irene either).
Yes, they stuck it out. Crazier were my friends of a friend who lived in a private house near the bay in the upper 50s. Two guys in their 80s, one who can't see, the other who can't hear and a middle aged daughter. They scrambled up to the second floor while the water rushed in and ruined their first floor and car parked on the street. They stayed there all that time when power was out, no heat, no generator. They had offers to stay with others, but they refused to budge.
Thank you for the information about posting pictures. You are always helpful.
Are you talking about the buildings on Beach 9th going towards Cornaga? Those buildings are ok but I wouldn't live there because it's far from the train and any store.
Yes, I was talking about those buildings on Beach 9th going towards Cornaga. A couple of other streets not far away have buildings too. I lived in one of those buildings. It wasn't too far from the train or from the store(just walk to Mott Avenue, near the train station and there's a bunch of stores there). I thought the surrounding area was pretty.

U mean in the 60s, don't you? Because there's no houses by the bay in the upper 50s - if you're talking about Rockaway.

That sounds like one of the many Hurricane Katrina NOLA horror stories!
Hopefully you'll post the pics ... would like to see them!

Yes, sorry , 69th-I'm pretty sure. Definitely Rockaway. I don't generally go to that area any more except to drive through, but these were friends that I sort of know of a closer friend.
I tried to post the pictures, but there was notification that the file is too big. I can't re-upload them to my computer.

The 60s gets serious flooding even without a superstorm....I would never live on that last block, Bayfield Avenue.

So very true. My long-time childhood friend lived on 65th Street until 2007 and lost at least 3 cars. But with Sandy, these elderly people told me that the water rushed up quickly on the staircase. Seagirt, at least it used to, get big pockets of flooding, not from the ocean, but just from the rain. I guess the ground gets saturated very easily.

I think it's because its low sea level and not the best drainage system. It never floods on my block but during Sandy the water almost came into the lobby of my building. 1 more foot higher and all of the 1st floor apartments would have experienced a flood.
