Sometimes Queens is so diverse it’s scary. Upcoming Halloween events include everything from senior events to youth events; cemetery fun to casino fun; and food-making to mask-making. And let’s not even begin to discuss all the great neighborhoods for trick-or-treating. To aid decision-making, the Queens Tourism Council suggests the following activities because they combine enjoyment with…

A Statue Perseveres in Kew GardensHelen Marshall (and the rest of the Borough Hall henchmen), is the quintessential, class A narcissist: Arrogant, deceitful, manipulative, greedy, selfish, unrepentant, unapologetic, cowardly, corrupt, dishonest, dishonorable, disloyal, derelict, depraved, dysfunctional, mendacious, intensely incompetent, rapacious and predatory. Just imagine, because of one public servant's knowingly false beliefs about a statue like 'Triumph Of Civic Virtue,' that could wield the power to demand and order the removal of a 16-ton statue (that was gifted to Queens by Fiorello LaGuardia, more than 70 years ago), simply because a minority of uneducated women (herself included), find the work to be offensive and sexist (which is knowingly false)! We, the Queens taxpayers' were never informed about how much it would cost to evict a statue that all Queens residents never objected to in the first place! The arrogance and cowardice of this counterfeit impostor is colossal and unprecedented. Welcome to Queens---the home of the Neo-Bolsheviks, and Neo-Fascism! An outright disgrace beyond reason--and sanity!
