Well, done that.. have the t-shirt..and threw it out. As a "perpetual" single, I have come to the realization that finding that someone special on Long Island is often difficult at best. Myself and a few female friends have decided that we are all tired of the "usual" dating scene and want to improve the "quality of life" for singles ov …

Rick, of the Roosevelt Islander Blog, has posted an Opening Day Post-Game Summary. RIRA President Franke Farance gauged interest in starting an Adult Softball League on Roosevelt Island.

When we accomplish something big as a group, it should be celebrated. This is not a cause specif …
