SPRING HAS SPRUNG 2018!
THE Mets are in first place – it must be April! In conjunction with that we’ve trotted out the hackneyed title above, which basically means there’s no local news of import. Unless of course you’re a foodie [Read more…] about SPRING HAS SPRUNG 2018!

SPRING HAS SPRUNG IN 2015
I’ve used that tired headline for four years in a row now. It’s the gift that keeps on giving to lazy journalists everywhere. Spring has sprung, yeah so what? Whatever the season, we promise to use recycled material only 50% of the time, and we also promise to be correct 50% of the time. That means you have a 1 in 4 chance of reading up-to-date and accurate information. I think those odds are a lot better than [Read more…] about SPRING HAS SPRUNG IN 2015
Spring Has Sprung Pt. 3: Easter Egg Hunt in Gantry Park This Saturday
Nope, you are not going to find any easter eggs in this picture, no spring flowers either. With what might be an oil derrick in the back right of the photo, this could be a desert somewhere in the Middle East …or Texas, if it weren’t for the Manhattan skyline at the top. Instead it is an empty lot slated to be the LIC Library(sponsor’s name tbd). Now I don’t know about you, but all I’m reading these days is about municipal budget cuts, the brunt of which seem to be falling on perceived “discretionary” spending such as libraries. I think the average New York City library is open about 3 1/2 hours a month if I’ve been reading correctly. But not here in LIC! We’re getting a brand-spanking new library on the water with drop dead views of Manhattan. Why us? Because in case you haven’t read my other posts, LIC is becoming the center of the universe. Anyway who really cares why as long as they stock Playboy. In other LIC news, we have two more new openings, and surprise surprise: the articles make no mention of Chuck Schumer attending the ribbon-cutting! Actually he was there but his attendance at these press conferences has become the default position for the media so only his absence warrants a mention. Happy Easter and Passover, go get them eggs!
Easter Egg Hunt in Gantry Park this Saturday from 10am – 12pm
