Ice Skating, Holiday Vendors Planned for Forest Hills Stadium Winter Season

According to Newsday:
With the once-crumbling infrastructure of the venue now replaced and reinforced, Luba said it was time to move to the next step. After Forest Hills Stadium wraps up its concert season this year, promoters plan to transform it into “Winter Wonderland,” which will include a skating rink inside the stadium surrounded by Christmas-tree and other holiday vendors. “We want to keep the place up and running year-round,” Luba said. “The ice skating rink will be for the community.”

In Search of Christmas Trees in Forest Hills

Received this email from a reader, can anyone help her?

I was wondering if you could do a post about where to buy a live Christmas tree in the area. I've gotten mine from the guys who set up shop at the deli on the corner of Ascan and Austin for the past few years, but now that it's closed, I'm guessing they won't be there anymore. Any and all super-local suggestions would be greatly appreciated by someone who has to carry a tree home by herself!

Wintry Scenes

It's fitting to close out the holiday season with these beautiful winter scenes from in front of Our Lady Queen of Martyrs. I love how perfect the snow drift is in the first pic.

Early Snows

The early snow this year has certainly gotten this blogger in the holiday mood, but forecasters are saying that any snow on the ground today will most likely be gone by the time Christmas rolls around. So enjoy that little bit of snow while it lasts!

Oh, and what's with you guys this year with those holiday decoration pics?? Last year I got a flood of them, this year, nada! What's up with that? There's still time! Send 'em to edgeofthecity@gmail.com.
