Week In Review

It was a busy week for news as U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-Forest Hills, announced he would resign and the Douglas Manor Beach was closed for a few days due to bacteria levels.

Earlier in the week, Patch provided an update on the long-awaited Fairway Market at the Douglaston Shopping Plaza and two members of the Little Neck-Douglaston Ambulance Corps were honored for helping to deliver a baby during December's blizzard.

And, a small fire broke out at a Douglaston pizzeria, but no one was injured during the blaze and damaged appeared to be minimal.
