Roosevelt Island Racquet Club

Roosevelt Island Racquet Club
281 Main Street
Roosevelt Island, NY 10044
Tel: (212) 935-0250
Info, directions to the club and map

The tennis club is on the little island between Manhattan’s East side and Queens, with 12 har-tru clay courts.

Oct 26, 2011

Beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, October 26, the ramp leading onto Randall’s Island from the Manhattan Plaza of the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge will become an exit only ramp while repaving work continues just south of the toll booths.

– All motorists seeking access to Randall’s Island from Manhattan will be detoured to the new RI/Ward’s ramp, which is only about a quarter-mile away. The ramp will put motorists on the Ward’s side of the Island.

– Vehicles heading to Randall’s Island from the Harlem River Lift Span should stay right after the toll plaza and follow traffic signs to Queens.

Vehicles WILL be able to exit the Island normally.

The work is expected to take approximately five weeks.

When I got to the court at the GN South High School, found this lonesome tree. Why did they cut it?

Autumn is here ..

It’s a windy weekend and we were still out there playing, tennis. During a point, I saw this little greeny landed in front of me. It was so distracting because I wanted to take a picture of it. I probably double faulted twice to end the game. it’s a little cutie, isn’t it? Then I saw another cutie .. no worry my partner and I managed to win the set despite few double faults.

In the middle of the game, I began hearing funny noise, little echo when I hit the ball. I didn’t think too much. But at the change over, I randomly looked at my racket and told no one in particular that my little thing’s anger management needed?acting funny .. then I saw ..
the crack
And
the loosened string
Oh my lord ..
It cracked.
How did that happen?
I don’t have a habit of hitting any one with it, or anything with it.
Probably out of old age then. It’s been with me for a while, a long while, was a left over from my kids.
Now I need to go shopping for a new one.
What should I buy?
