PS 113 should be for Glendale children.

With all this talk about rezoning – how, who, when. This should be simple – if your zip code is not 11385 – you should be in a different school and not overcrowding 113. This is not a popular statement and therefore youwill never hear an elected official make such a statement. But truth be told- Glendale children belong in Glendale schools. Woodhaven and Richmond Hill children belong in Woodhaven and Richmond Hill schools. Problem solved. A little basic common sense.

So now that Atlas is sold.

Seems like Atlas is on the move – the new landlord being connected to the Queens Center Mall sheds some hope for some good retail possibilities.   Any thoughts out there on what you would like to see.   I personally woudl love some chain stores – Gap,  Anne Taylor, Loft, Victoria Secrets, Sephora…. this could be light at the end of the tunnel.  And let’s all keep supporting the stores like Starbucks who  toughed it out and have been so generous to the Glendale Community.

Help is on the way…or not

So here is my worse snow experience this season.  I pride myself in living in an area where we all help each other.  Now that my husband and I are inflatable tent approaching “senior” status it is wonderful to have neighbors who alway lend a hand with snow removal, etc.  Never would anyone true Glendale resident not be a good neighbor.  This season we shoveled out abandoned cars for neighbors, gave shovels to our Yeshiva neighbors and help them dig out their abandoned van…all good neighbors.   So here I am with my youngest son on the way up Doran Ave and now stuck at the interesection of Doran and 88th.  Once again all the good people come to our assistance, neighbors and strangers, all helping to dig us out.  Along comes SUV and a young man jumps out and shoves his NYPD badge in our face and tells us to move…duh… we would if we could.   Not even offers a helping hand.  After a few choice words from yours truly he gets back in his SUV and drives off with his FDNY father.  Fortunately, this gonfiabili was not an officer from our 104 – just to be clear.   Can you make this stuff up!   PS both the police officer and fire officer are Glendale residents – now there is the expection to the rule.

Slick as ice

As of November 17 the ice rink developer only met with DOB’s Project Advocate to inquire on the general requirements of such a project. However, plans for this project, along with an exact address under which the project would be filed, have yet to be provided by the inflatable water slide developer. So can anyone explain why residents in Glendale received a Aviator Postcard advertising the opening of the ice rink on Veteran’s Day. Here we go again, another developer trying to slip by without permits. Who do they really know….or are icing.
