Since 1925
Back in the 1960′s when the utilities were moved underground (thanks Helen Yunker), Pierpont Boulevard was widened with space allocated for attractively landscaped medians. Local resident Larry has come up with a brilliant plan to revitalize the medians. (more…)
The Petite Rêve Cafe is lower Seaward’s ray of hope. Keep them in mind for warm drinks and incredible pastries, both for cold mornings and holiday parties. (more…)
A couple of days ago, I decided to ditch DirecTV and see if we couldn’t get our fill of TV from the internet and over-the-air channels. My plan backfired because when I called Charter to sign up for high-speed cable internet access (our AT&T DSL just doesn’t cut it) they talked me into trying their TV and telephone services as well. With a 30 day money-back guarantee and no contracts, I thought I’d give it a try.
But then I thought, there must be hundreds of close neighbors in the same situation, making the same decision. Pity we aren’t sharing our research and experiences because there are so many factors that are specific to Pierpont. For example, we don’t have access to Verizon Fios, which would be my first choice if it were available. One neighbor has told me about his surprise to find that he can get hundreds of free channels with a rooftop antenna but there are a bunch of tricks to getting it set up just right.
Anyway, I thought I’d resurrect pierpont.com to see if we can’t start sharing some of our ideas.
