5 Things

Good morning, Douglaston.

If you haven't already read it, be sure to check out our story on two bills proposed by Councilman Dan Halloran, R-Whitestone, that would challenge the city's Board of Standards and Appeals on variances. 

Stop by later this morning for Carol Brock's Notes from a Food Diva column. This week's topic is winemaking.

Drop back by at noon for our weekly Sold! column and read our first in a series of articles on 9/11's tenth anniversary. We want to hear from the community on Sept. 11. 

Here are 5 Things You Need to Know Today:

1. At 8:30 a.m., stop by to read Carol Brock's latest installment of Notes from a Food Diva.

2. Then, check out our interview with Peter Pollicino, a Doulgaston resident who shares his thoughts on the tenth anniversary of Sept. 11.

3. Visit Douglaston Patch at noon for Sold! to view homes purchased in your community.
