June 11th - 12th: Weekend Thriller

A symbolic passing of the torch to Little Neck's new editor, Lauren Evans

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened

-Dr. Seuse

Greetings, Little Neck! As your Guest-editor this past month, I’ve got to meet some new friends and discover new places.

Together, we rediscovered the ancient pay phones dotting the landscape. We marched in the Memorial day parade, witnessed the downfall of a Congressman, and most recently we’ve discovered hidden talents of the neighborhood that has inspired a bill to become law.

Your new Editor, Lauren Evans, will be taking over the reigns Monday morning. In the meantime, don’t worry about a thing because I won’t be far, I will be going back to my home Patch in Bayside.

Feel free to friend request me, or shoot over an email. I promise not to send you any lewd photos via Twitter. 

So if we meet again, then we'll smile. And if not, then this parting was well made.

Five Things you need to know today:

1. Little Neck activist, Rachel Mayo

2. While Mayor Bloomberg announced free Wi-Fi in parks, he only meant Flushing Meadows Corona Park, which is 12 miles from any point in Little Neck. Luckily Patch comes to the rescue with all the hotspots offering Check it out there are a few surprises.

3. Great carnivals are in town. Find out

4. Alley Pond Park will honor cancer survivors with a relay and many other events for an . Registration is this afternoon at 3pm. Be sure to check it out and help spread the world.

5. Astrology zone. Can a lady Virgo pair well with a male Sagittarius? I’m not sure, but Patch clairvoyant Yael Morowati does.

The local, fresh fruit and vegetable market was a worthwhile addition to Douglaston. Obviously, itRead More did not receive the support of the community, at least not enough to make it a successful venture. This is sad. Every Sunday, rain or shine, I would stop at the market and purchase something. My favorite was the bakery stand. Often, when I stopped in the afternoon I would get two FREE French breads with my purchase. Parking was never a problem. The vendors where friendly and very informative. It was a perfect setting for the picturesque nature of this community. Too bad it is not returning.

Unfortunately, according to the Douglas Manor Association, the fresh fruit and vegetable market willRead More NOT return this year. No specific reason was given other than this was at the initiative of the merchants or the market's organizers. And this..., just as we were beginning to enjoy the Long Island wines and the $34 per pound skirt steak, ordered two months in advance.
