What's Still in Stock at Waldbaum's

Managers as Waldbaum's in Bay Terrace say they have brought in extra supplies ahead of Hurricane Irene's expected visit. Here's the story the shelves told.

Shoppers at on Thursday afternoon were plucking batteries, water and and other storm staples off the shelves.

One shopper was looking for a cell phone back up charger, and scored one of only three left in the display. Batteries for flashlights, D-sized, were also a hot item. 

Store employees were in a state of calm about their supply level.

Manager KC Kilgannon said the store was doing, "nothing crazy," to stock up, piling the up basics like water, milk, batteries and candles.

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.
