Good morning, Douglaston, and get out your umbrellas.

It's going to be rainy for the next three days, according to the weather forecast. Thanksgiving will be clear, but chilly.

The Little Neck-Douglaston Lions Club honored several northeast Queens community activists, including Udalls Cove Preservation Committee President Walter Mugdan, during a ceremony last night. Stop by the site later today for our coverage of the event.

And stop back by the site later this morning for This Week at the Movies. Reviews will include tween sensation "Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part I," Alexander Payne's sure-to-be Oscar contender "The Descendants" and the bleak British film "Tyrannosaur."

Also, keep an eye out for Patch's preview of the Dick Lynch Turkey Trot, which will be held in Douglas Manor on Thursday.

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.
