U.S. Rep. Grace Meng, D-Flushing, will kick give Queens residents she represents a chance to voice their concerns when she kicks off “Congress on Your Corner” later this month.

Meng will take part in a series of visits to the communities in her district during which residents can discuss issues in their communities or just drop by to meet their new congresswoman.

The first “Congress on Your Corner” event be held at the Middle Village Library, which is located at 72-31 Metropolitan Ave., from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on March 27.

 “It is critical for members of Congress to ensure that they are accessible to their constituents and meeting with the people I am privileged to represent is a top priority of mine,” Meng said.

The congresswoman said she intended to host “Congress on Your Corner” events throughout her district, which includes Bayside, Auburndale, Flushing, Forest Hills, Fresh Meadows, Kew Gardens and Rego Park.

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.
