I really love the porch on this 1915 North Riverdale house.

Any Riverdalians get to mix with First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden today at the James J. Peters VA Hospital?
If so, do tell!
The two are here tonight to honor veterans at the first game of the World Series at Yankee Stadium.

I know I’m not alone in my quest. I’ve [...]
