The Bayview Leaside BIA has hosted the Bayview Pixies for lunch at Sophie’s Kitchen this week. It’s entirely right because these selfless volunteer ladies see to the planting of flowers and shrubs as well as the care of the trees. They also add an element of neighborliness to any walk along the broad sidewalks of Bayview. But here’s an extra if one were needed. The pixie concept is appealing in and of itself well beyond our street. The Pixies are ambassadors to the media. Every BIA should be so fortunate. Lower left, please don’t spare the copper. A new home on secret Evergreen Gardens in Bennington Heights shines with its metal fixings. Down the right side, Apple Fest on Bayview is this weekend. You’ll want to drop by. There will be buskers, a chalk art contest, music, an Apple Fest raffle and specials. Below that, more Halloween Now. These planted pumpkins at Longo’s are not scary but rather nice. At bottom, check the transformation in the east side of Laird Drive at Commercial Rd. The demolition of DEL Inc. makes way for the expansion of Gyro Motors. Please visit the South Bayview Bulldog Bulletin Board for more things happening this week.
