One Last Remembered Place

A farewell post to Little Neck Patch's history column.

All things come to an end, including Remembered Places, which will be discontinued for the time being, perhaps to return sometime down the road as more history is made out here in Little Neck.

But in case you missed these the first time around, here's a short list of my top picks:

By far my favorite installment of RP—part mystery, part intrigue, all while on the hunt to uncover the truth about the missing Matinecock of Little Neck.

You can’t spell Little Neck without Little Neck Bay, and you'd be remiss to skip our copy on the waterfront.

In our travels, we were lucky enough to be invited inside one of the last standing homes of the long since vanished baymen of Little Neck. The old vernacular style farmhouse along Depew didn't disappoint.

I still can't believe it took me to my 30 years to discover the 400 year old Poplar located in Alley Pond.

We end, where it all began, with the first installment of Remembered Places, featuring none other than the Queens Farm Museum.

We hoped you enjoyed the reading!

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.
