Last year a guy in the Lower East Side in NYC recently got Fresh Direct to service his street just by organizing the tenants and calling Fresh Direct.

And can I just say, Peruvian corn rocks! But in the unlikely event that I get sick of the beach and we rent out our place for the summer, I suppose it might help. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > In a message dated 11/29/2007 10:03:30 A.M.
