Week in Review

Catch up on stories that took place during the past week in Douglaston and Little Neck.

It was a stifling, hot week in Douglaston and Little Neck, but a little quiet on the news front.

State Sen. Tony Avella, D-Bayside, joined northeast Queens leaders to call on the state Legislature to renew a tax abatement and extend a program that would allow the units’ owners to perform work on their properties.

Police statistics showed that crime had dropped during June in the 111th Precinct.

And Patch posted a preview of the Douglaston Greenmarket, which opened July 8.

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.
