Week in Review

It was a busy week for news – especially politics – in northeast Queens this week.

Patch readers weighed in on who they believed won the second presidential debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.

Douglaston residents were surprised to hear that Strawberry’s Sports Grill closed its doors permanently earlier in the week.

And Community Board 11 told Patch that it would hold a public hearing for a controversial development in Bayside during its upcoming meeting.
