For the last 44 years Eric Edwards has amassed one of the most important private collections of African art in the world. Over 2,500 artifacts reside alongside Mr. Edwards in his Brooklyn home. The collection represents all 54 countries of Africa and spans over 4000 years of history.
We are asking for your help to give this important collection a new home– a museum where it can be seen, studied and appreciated by the public. Mr. Edwards believes that the artifacts in addition to their beauty, are therapeutic and possess the power to bring all people together because of the stories they individually tell.
The Cultural Museum of African Art will house the entirety of the Edwards collection, a world class library, and a research and media center. It is our hope that this museum will help introduce future generations of Americans to the rich cultural heritage of Africa.

In 1848, the High Bridge spanned the Harlem River connecting the Bronx to Manhattan to transport clean water via the Croton Aqueduct. Join Bryan Diffley — the Project Manager in charge of the renovation of this outstanding engineering treasure — on a very special walking tour of NYC’s oldest standing bridge.
Thursday June 25 at 6:30pm
High Bridge was designed by John B. Jervis, Chief Engineer of the Croton Aqueduct who modeled it after the great aqueducts of the Roman Empire. The bridge remained in use for the Croton system until 1955 and its deck remained in use as a pedestrian bridge until the 1970’s when it was closed due to vandalism. The city began restoring the bridge in 2012.
Tour proceeds support free tours for public school students of NYC’s historic reservoirs & the High Bridge.

It takes more than a village to raise a child in today's world. The world is more than flat or round or sun and moon. It's also the village on the other side of the river. The objects in the sky are different from that view. Community Greens, griot-like, tells a story. I invite you to share my view. - Chuck Vasser
Many people forget how important hydration is, especially after a seven or eight-hour night's rest with no water. Start your morning off right and get hydrated. A glass of water, a dash of sea salt and the juice of a fresh lemon will get your day off to the great start.
Health and Fitness
I couldn’t have said this better:
Do Something Active Every Day
Do Stay Engaged in Life
Don’t Overeat
Don’t Drink to Excess
Never Smoke
You already know you consume too much sugar and it can have serious health consequences. Manufactures sneak sugar into their products under the names below as “added sugars”. Be healthy. Read labels. Eliminate added sugar from your diet while eating fruits and vegetables that contain minerals, vitamins, fiber and natural sugar.
Draining and rinsing canned beans can reduce their sodium content by more than 40%. But taking just a few extra minutes is key to getting the most benefit. The reduced-sodium beans are ready to use in any favorite recipe.
According to new research 1. not smoking, 2. limiting your alcohol intake, 3. staying active, 4. maintaining a healthy weight, and 5. eating nutritious foods could not only extend your life, but improve the quality of it.
A riders determines how s/he wants to ride a bike and what type of bike they will use. Bikes, therefore, come in different configurations and geometries to suit individual riders. Different body positions suit each bike, such as 2 o’clock, 12 o’clock, 1 o’clock and so on.
Pet waste adds excess nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus to the environment. These nutrients many create unstable conditions that create habitat for invasive weeds. Responsively get rid of your pet waste. Don’t leave it on the trail/street!
Done right, crate training helps breed familiarity, trust and a sense of security between your pup and his crate. You should not put dogs in crates that have not been properly crate trained.
Mat Training- A mat, or a defined place for a dog to “go to,” is a versatile and useful behavior to teach a dog. A mat can be a a dog bed, a dog mat, a bath mat, a towel, a blanket, – whatever makes the most sense for the dog and the handler.
Rude Habits Of Dog Owners. These are some of the things people complain about the most when it comes to dog owners.
As the pandemic disrupts global food supply chains, people may have to depend more on locally grown food. Experts expect the number of people suffering through severe food shortages could swell to 265 million people in 2020.
Bissel Gardeners are glad they have been community gardening and raising food for themselves for more than 25 years. We hope when the NYC Pause In Place is lifted more folks will see the need for community gardens and will join us! Chuck the Gardener
