    Does anyone remember the good old days,, when people could fish and swim at the end of Ivan Court, Merit Court , Dare Court,, etc.. Did the owner of the house on the Corner of Ivan and Bartlett actually purchase the property from Mayor Bloomberg as well as did the yacht club at the end of Cyrus Ave purchase the land at teh end of Merit to use as thier own personal party property?? How much did these property owners pay for the public property at the end of these streets??
