The temperatire is rising today as well as the humidity. This local Roosevelt Island pooch knew what to do, just jump into the fountain just behind and Southeast of Blackwell House.

are dogs allowed on the island? when i lived there (1980-1998) they were expressly forbidden, which was a pretty big bummer for dog-lovers such as myself.
Yes they are allowed to visit the island and also in specific apartment buildings that allow them. I know that both the Riverwalk and Octagon buildings allow dogs but I am unsure what the rules are building by building in either the original 4 WIRE complexes or Manhattan Park.

Y'know, right after I wrote my comment, I kept poking around your site (which, BTW, I really enjoy, though I don't read it nearly enough) and looked at the other dog-related posts and found the RI dogs page through that, so now i am up to date. Thanks for the response!
All comments are now moderated and due to the nature that this blog is INACTIVE comments left will only be periodically reviewed and approved if at all.
Where previous comments were essentially unmoderated I have grown tired at seeing the same old comments posted by a few individuals unhappy about the state of various affairs on this island. My suggestion is find a constructive and new outlet for your grievances. Better yet get involved and change things if you desire change. If you are looking for time to stand still ...deal with it as it's not happening.
Perhaps start your own blog. They are free at Blogger.com
