Reader calls even the thought of not Opening Graydon Pool , “abject laziness”

Graydon Pool Ridgewood

“No resident uses all of the features of this town. Some residents don’t even use the school system. Some use the parks, some don’t. Some play tennis, some don’t. Some use the communal garden, some don’t. Some go to concerts at the band shell, some don’t. For those who enjoy using Graydon, it’s a wonderful thing that the VC went ahead and opened it up this year. It’s kind of shocking to me that there was even a dispute about it. Nancy Bigos and Heather Mayländer pushed back so hard against this that it was shocking. Spoke to me of complete abject laziness on their part.”

Real Estate’s market keeps growing

As Ridgewood-grown indie rock band Real Estate’s success grows, the founding members, all former Ridgewood High School (RHS) students, are dealing with growing up.

Following the March release of their third album “Atlas,” the band played on “The Late Show with David Letterman” in April. Their biggest headlining show ever is coming up on Oct. 2 at Terminal 5 in New York City.

Real Estate’s success has worked in tandem with other personal achievements.

Soon after the Letterman appearance, singer and guitarist Martin Courtney, a 2004 RHS graduate, and his wife, a fellow RHS graduate, welcomed their first child, a baby girl. Meanwhile bassist Alex Bleeker, a fellow ’04 grad, is busy touring with his second band, Alex Bleeker and The Freaks.

Guitarist Matt Mondanile, who attended RHS before transferring to a boarding school, is also still busy with his other band “Ducktails.”
