Back to School at Avenues: The World School

As one of the founding families at Avenues: The World School, we took a leap of faith and trusted that this establishment would be the best choice for our family. After a full year with Avenues, I can say with confidence that it was everything we had hoped for – and then some! We’re so excited to have such an amazing private school downtown. It has been a blessing my daughter’s growth and development while attending the school and I cannot wait to see what is in store for her this year!

As the new admission season begins, I’d like to introduce you to the incredible Avenues community. The happiness and positive energy is truly contagious and I am enthusiastic to endorse this school to all New York parents and beyond. This fall, Avenues will have weekly grade- and division-specific Parent Information Events. I sincerely recommend these events to anyone that is curious about the school.

40 Million Credit Mistakes

Whether we like it or not, we live in an age where much of what goes on in our daily lives is monitored, collected and sold to interested parties — our driving records, our medical history, our Internet traffic and, most importantly, our credit information.

A mistake on your credit report can cost you money. It can increase the interest you pay on loans, prevent you from getting a mortgage or buying a car, landing a job or getting a security clearance. It’s not uncommon. A new government study indicates as many as 40 million Americans have a mistake on their credit report. Twenty million have significant mistakes. Those mistakes can be nearly impossible to get removed from your record.

The {Real Estate} Life: NYC’s Starchitects

Developers around the world have proven eager to sign up “top talent” in hopes of convincing reluctant municipalities to approve large developments, of obtaining financing or of increasing the value of their buildings. A key characteristic is that the architect’s designs are almost always iconic and highly visible within the site or context.
