As you may have noticed, the blog has not been updated as regularly as it used to be. We believe it's important to have a neighborhood blog. So, we are once again putting out a reminder that we need contributors!
If you are interested in reporting on what's going on in Forest Hills and the city at large just email edgeofthecity@gmail.com. This is a purely volunteer opportunity - just for people who are into helping to improve our neighborhood.
Anyone who has been a fan of Edge of the City I am sure would agree that the neighborhood has come a very long way in the decade or so since we launched. But we still have a lot of work to do! There's a lot more improvements we can bring to Forest Hills.
Here's just a few:
- I just noticed the cutest little space on one of the side streets off of Ausin that would be perfect for a neighborhood book shop. We really could use one! It would be the icing on the cake for our 'hood.
- Queens Blvd. while improving thanks to its bike path, still is a dreadful eyesore. We've been calling for a while for beautification of this ugly mess. Let's get the city working on it!
- With everyone's local favorite Banter having closed during the pandemic, we could really use some other quality casual independent dining spots with broad menu appeal. Our restaurants have vastly improved in the past 10 years or so, but there's still some big holes in the offerings that are embarrasing, especially considering how many people now spend more time in the 'hood during the work week.
So, what are you waiting for? If you are good with words and love Forest Hills, help contribute to the neighborhood's longest-running -- and I guess, only -- blog. All it takes is sending in a photo or brief article every once in a while. We hope you'll join us soon!
