JUNE 29,
2007 --
LPR stumbled on The Bronx Ball --the June 23 dinner introducing the latest
members of the Bronx Walk of Fame -- and for a few hours enjoyed the free air
of the Bronx, with thoughts of a heavy-handed parking violations bureau and
credit card companies completely dispelled.
LPR hopes to post photos of this world class dinner, held at Utopia's Paradise,
next week.

LPR attended the
ceremonies, June 24, inducting the honorees into the Bronx Walk of
Fame and, later in the day, attended the street festival marking
the conclusion of Bronx week -- a festival that got LPR to thinking
that something should be done to bring back the Connecticut Agricultural
Fair.

Please note, the
thoroughfare shown in the background of the image of the Aventura
fans is the Grand Concourse (officially, the Grand Concourse and
Boulevard -- unofficially, the Champs Elysee of The Bronx).
