Time now for StoryCorps. Today, memories of a character on one of New York City's most popular beaches. Oswaldo Gomez, better known as Ms. Colombia, was a fixture in Jacob Riis Park. You couldn't miss her. She sported a green beard and was accompanied by a miniature poodle and a foul-mouthed parrot. Ms. Colombia was once a lawyer who immigrated to New York in 1975. She earned her nickname by giving free legal advice to fellow Colombians. Her friends Victoria Cruz and Carlos Villacres came to StoryCorps to remember her.

David Moot had always fantasized about owning a beachfront retreat on Cape Cod, but never thought he could afford it—until he stumbled upon a coastal gem listed for just $395,000.

At roughly half the median sales price in the area according to recent estimates, the listing seemed too good to be true. And it was — the affordable slice of paradise at 157 Brownell Road in Eastham could soon be swept away by the Atlantic.
