KIOSK

A lifetime ago-slight exaggeration-the Town of North Beach purchased a kiosk or multidimensional sign board or box. I remember seeing a drawing but that is all. Well a few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending my brother Mike's daughter-Wendy's wedding in a Long Island waterfront town of Oyster Bay. There were several entrances to Oyster Bay,just like there are several entrances to North Beach, i.e. Chesapeake Avenue & 1st Street, 5th. Street and Greenwood, and Bay Avenue, either at the County line or if you want to be closer, 7th @ Ewald Square. Any one of these locations would be an ideal setting for a kiosk. It would be a natural landmark for visitors to stop and read notices and postings. Although, I favor a placement at Chesapeake Avenue & 1st Street, this would necessitate tearing down the existing sign, redoing the landscape etc. 5th & Greenwood is also a great location but it would also require some landscaping. What may be the best choice is Bay Avenue & 7th Street. Undoubtedly, there will be new development in and about this location, but that corner of Ron Russo's lot would be a killer location. It is walkable, historic, and a visually pleasant site. Hey Ron, kind of like "can you spare a dime" only Can you spare a 12x12 feet plot of space? It is tax deductible. You are already a good guy-this will make it indelible in the minds of residents and visitors.
Have another location?, have additional thoughts?, Can you spare a dime?-just kidding.
Get your two cents in here-I will pass it on with proper attribution. Better yet, notify Town Hall.
Maybe Town Hall can promote a design contest for the plot of space.
This is your town-get involved in something positive!
