Sad dead trees on 11th street
It happened. Some jerk wiped out five trees in a wild drive. 11th street mourns you oh trees.
Pink Sculpture, Rainbow Sculpture and Yellow Bird
It took years for the community to axe the kinda-tired yellow fence sculpture in LIC’s Murray Playground. The battle is pitched for the Jackson Ave streetscape. The pink sculpture proposed seems to be unpopular with local curmudgeons and hipsters. One made his own rainbow shed on Jackson Ave. http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/03/18/nyregion/a-pink-sculpture-in-long-island-city-brings-questions-over-the-use-of-tax-dollars.html?referrer= The original NYT piece above.

The better LIC local pediatrician
So it’s flu season. Who should you try? You can’t easily go to the drug store for a kids flu shot, but that’s where you should go as an adult. For your kids, should pop into the local pediatrician? Don’t. They’ll start hassling you for medical history and transferring your files etc. (Read: please sign […]
