Scenes from Halloween 2018 in Forest Hills

The crowds stretched as far as the eye could see as trick-or-treaters headed towards Burns Street to check out the annual decorations. And this year, as usual, they did not disappoint!

Happy Fourth of July

Memorial Day 2018

Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend and takes some time to think of those who lost their lives serving our country.

Spotted this very patriotic display of Beetles while taking a stroll through the Gardens on Friday.  Yes, I realize they're foreign cars and one is silver, but it's the thought that counts!

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.”

Happy Halloween!

Forest Hills is a great place to be Halloween.  First, this afternoon, all the stores along Austin St. start giving out candy to the kids, and then, as the sun goes down, the celebration moves over to Burns Street in The Gardens as all the spooky decorations come to life...  Happy Halloween everyone!

The Holiday Season Begins

The CVS on the north side of Queens Blvd. wasted no time in clearing out all the unsold Halloween candy (50% off now, while supplies last) and the aisles have already been transformed into Christmas and Chanukah-land.

Spooky Manhattan Mansions

The real estate prices aren't the only things that are scary this year in Greenwich Village.
Happy Halloween everyone!
