Mark Gjonaj Announces Run for 80th Assembly District

Here is an announcement related to a Mr. Mark Gjonaj running for the 80th Assembly District seat. From the candidates name I assume he is of Albanian descent. If elected he should be the first Bronx representative with Albanian heritage. The seat is presently held by Assemblywoman Naomi Rivera.

Dear Friends,

I share with you very exciting news. On Sunday, April 22, 2012, I will officially announce my candidacy for the New York State Assembly representing the proud 80^th Assembly District of the amazing Borough of the Bronx. This district, which includes Mosholou Parkway, Pelham Gardens, Pelham Parkway, Allerton and Morris Park, is home to many humble and hard working people.

As a fellow Bronxite, I know the challenges we face raising a family and making an honest living. As your Assemblyman, I will stand up for you, your families, and our communities.

I invite you to join me at campaign headquarters located at 2134 Barnes Avenue (Corner of Lydig Avenue) Bronx, New York, this Sunday, as we begin this journey together.

I look forward to working hard, bringing a fresh perspective to the way government is run and being your choice for progress.

Thank you in advance for your time and support,

Respectfully,

Mark Gjonaj

BoogieDowner Photos from the Community: 9/11 Weekend Block Party on Young Avenue

Much to my belly's delight, I stumbled on a block party this Saturday in the Pelham Parkway Section of the Bronx. The residents on the block organized an international pot luck food festival as the children enjoyed various play stations and flags representing their diverse background flew overhead. In a time when Americans could have chosen to let their diversity divide them, they chose to make it a strength. Kudos to the residents on Young Avenue between Astor Avenue and Pelham Parkway North. Hopefully our world leaders can learn from their example. The timing could not have been better.

Lt. Clesse 5K Run Commemorating 9/11 Held Earlier Today on Pelham Parkway

Anyone traveling earlier today along Pelham Parkway, was sure to run into the annual Lt. Thomas Clesse 5K run. The event has been conducted annually since 2002 in honor of Lt. Clesse of the 49th Precinct. He was a local first responder who lost his life due to cancer after exposure to toxins during the 9/11 terrorist attack. Over 80 participants ran along Pelham Parkway in honor of our local hero and all other 9/11 first responders who risked their lives to save others. Kudos to everyone who helped keeps the tradition alive.

Here is a very reasonable 1 Bedroom co-op I just listed in the Pelham Parkway South section of the Bronx. There is no other 1 bedroom co-op in the neighborhood offered for less.

Interest rates are low and the current economic and banking environment during the last few months has not helped. Qualified buyers can get great deals like this where monthly expenses to own are less than renting with 10% or 20% down. Here are the numbers;

Asking Price: $79,0000

20% down $ 15,800
_______
Mortgage amount $ 63,200


Monthly mortgage at 4.5% rate = $ 320.23
