It was 1975 the first time Hillary Farkas hosted a block party on Hollanderry Place. The theme was “Where were you in ‘62?”, a reference to the year in which the homes were first built. The houses sold for between $16,500 and $17,500; today, they’re worth well over a million. What has remained constant since 1973, however, is the annual Labor Day block party that Farkas founded. On Aug. 25, Farkas and her fellow Hollanderry residents took to the streets to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the neighborhood as well as the 37th anniversary of their block party tradition.
