Forest Hills 'Steps' Up

The last two weekends Forest Hills residents took to the streets in support of Black Lives Matter.  All protests were peaceful and inspiring.

Forest Hills Gardens in Springtime

Sorry for the delay in posting. Let's just say the past couple of months have not been fun, but, thankfully, we're back. What better way to resume the blog--especially during these awful times--than with some pretty pics. Thanks to reader Tommy who took these during a recent stroll through the Gardens...

Thanks to Anne-Marie for sending in these photos she snapped around the neighborhood over the last couple of days.
Stay safe everyone, and be smart!
I've personally noticed that some aren't making much of an effort to stay several feet away from each other. It's a good idea to try to get into that habit. Wearing a mask is a good idea as well. It doesn't hurt to wear one and may help limit the spread. There are several types available on sites like Amazon that won't impact the supplies for health care workers.

La Boulangerie is being very responsible.

Hello Fellow Forest Hillers - I will be trying to post some of the more important local developments as I hear them. And please feel free to use the comments section here for any questions, concerns, observations, etc. you may have. And, if you have any important local announcements, please email them to edgeofthecity@gmail.com

This has been an unsettling time, to say the least. Sharing your feelings and concerns with your fellow New Yorkers helps. We will all get through this together.

It also helps to remember to not become obsessed with watching the news all the time. Stress can negatively impact your health. So, take common-sense precautions, but also don't forget to still enjoy life every day. No one can ever predict the future, so, really, don't worry about it.

Here are some important steps we can all take right now: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/downloads/workplace-school-and-home-guidance.pdf
