April 20: It Takes A Village...

Possible Glen Oaks Village bid to join Community Board 11 the latest in CB defections

Good morning, Little Neck! Here's to getting over the "hump" to the weekend.

Here are your 5 Things:

1. At a visit to North Shore Towers yesterday, state Sen. Tony Avella, D-Bayside, complained to residents about strong headwinds against reform in Albany. For more on Avella's take on his first 100 days in office, check out our story .

2. Months after Bay Terrace residents expressed interest in joining Community Board 11, it seems Glen Oaks Village also wants to join in on the act.

3. Look out for possible thunderstorms later today, with temperatures forecast to rise to a balmy 67 degrees.

4. As a counterpoint to the partisanship in Washington, D.C., on at least one issue of importance to many northeast Queens residents, area elected officials of all political persuasions . 

5. Alternate side parking rules are suspended today due to Passover.

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.
