Autumn in the Big Apple is a true delight, and, quite frankly, the season couldn't have made its presence any sooner. Summer 2011 dispensed weather extremes of the highest order, to the point where New Yorkers, not the most tolerant souls at the best of times, became fed up to the back teeth with freaky forecasts and unimaginable conditions.

It won’t come as a surprise to be prompted that the Collective Review is all about assessments, analysis and appraisal. In fact, that’s the main reason why we are here.

"A Moving Experience". Now there's a phrase that pays, and all the more so if you are going through the process of relocation.
