5 Things

Good morning, Douglaston.

The week has gotten off to a busy start. Yesterday, we posted a story on the closing of The Douglaston Market.

We'd love to hear from the community. Was the market a top spot for grabbing a bite of lunch or a quick coffee?

Also, be sure to read our story on Community Board 11's approval to rename a section of parkland along Douglaston Parkway after late community activist Joseph Hellman.

This morning, we will put up our weekly Whiz Kid feature and, this afternoon, we'll post Great Escape.

Here are 5 Things You Need to Know Today:

1. Take a look at our story on The Douglaston Market.

2. Read our piece on CB 11's vote to name a half-acre park at Douglaston Parkway and 243rd Street after Joseph Hellman.

3. Stop by the site at noon for Whiz Kid and at 4 p.m. for Great Escape.
