Golf balls for sale on Christian Avenue

We all have a social responsibility to purchase golf balls on Christian Avenue. I don't know if you've noticed, but our neighborhood has changed. We once had an economically diverse area that is now more uniform. The neighborhood is stale and lacks uniqueness. I was interested in exploring the sign that read "Golf Balls for Sale, 40 cents" at 50 Christian Avenue. I walked up this small road aligned with a few bungalows. The last bungalow off this road was #50. #50 had a large pile of "junk" in front of it. Standing in this heap of "junk" was a small, hardworking, and what appeared poor, man. Obviously this man is in need of assistance. His bungalow was disheveled and cluttered. I entered his porch and was astonished to see bags and bags of golf balls. I wonder how many this man sells or how many he really needs to survive in this neighborhood. I give him $2 and took some balls. He insisted on giving me another bag of balls for free. I thought if everyone in this neighborhood purchased at least two balls from this man, perhaps he could afford to stay here. I think we need him in Stony Brook. He is refreshing. What is 80 cents to us anyway, when that could mean so much to this person? Therefore, I urge you to do this. If you have any problem finding his home, e-mail here for directions. Actually, the golf balls are quite nice. I purchased a Spalding Topflite, a Wilson 4, and a Golden Girl 3. I think it's a good buy.


Here's a perfect example of how our neighborhood is changing. It's a common sight around here to see a small cottage being knocked down for a new, vinylized, mansion.....the new house will look exactly the same as all the other new ones on the street.
