SO it be declared, Spring Has Sprung in 2024. Readers of this website are fully aware that any other declaration of Spring’s arrival is immaterial, and possibly plagiarism.

DO you know what percent of applicants get into Stanvard? The answer, 3.2%, is significantly higher than the percent of kids in LIC that secure a place in the Gantry Park Easter Egg Hunt each year. Maybe that’s not a bad thing, as the rejection builds up resilience beginning with the 2-3 year old category as they see a select genus group of their peers gain entry and partake in the excitement, pageantry and riches of the hunt.
IF your teenager is serious about possibly pursuing art as a career, then there’s a program right here in LIC for her/him.

EVERYONE loves a parade, right? Maybe not, as one long time reader hinted last week – it (the Halloween Parade) was really (over)crowded last year (2022).

Of course maybe I’m hearkening back to a time when there were fewer towers and LIC still seemed like a small neighborhood. I like to hearken, and those days may have passed, but there’s still no lack of need for the next generation to take up the reins and build on what their forefathers from a decade ago built on. Right now we seem to be on cruise control.

KIDS in LIC get a trick for Halloween this year, as a hallowed tradition seems to have laid fallow in 2023. We’re talking about the Annual Halloween Parade along Vernon Boulevard. Not sure what happened or why, maybe the powers-that-be deemed the kids unworthy this year?
