Save The Carousel - Behind The Scenes of The NY1 Report The Bandshell Re-Opens
Beautiful Restoration Now Complete
This
story, which we've been following closely, is now almost complete.
Over the weekend, the protective fencing came down -- and the
bandshell was once again open to the public. All of the wooden
benches have been replaced with nice new comfortable benches -- many of
the areas appear to have been repaved, and they have created some
lovely green areas. All in all, a beautiful restoration!

13th 1895 - The Cyclone
115
Years Since Woodhaven Battered
It
was 115 years ago that Woodhaven was neraly destroyed by a freak
afternoon Cyclone. Buildings and businesses and homes were
obliterated. Trees and telepgraph poles and even cows and
wagons
were lifted away into the sky, never to be seen again. Scores
of
residents were injured, and tragically 2 people died. And as
an
odd footnote, tens of thousands of people from the surrounding areas
came to Woodhaven to view the aftermath.

The Forest Park Carousel
Woodhaven
Icon Needs Your
Help
Seems
like every few weeks there's something else that needs saving.
The Ambulance Corps. The J Train. The
Q56. The
Firehouses. The Library. And now, we bring you word
that
our beloved Forest Park Carousel needs your help. After 2 summers of
darkness, it looks like we need a strong show of community support if
we want to prevent it from being dismantled and sold off in pieces.
Read this update for ideas on how you can help -- and join

Recognize This Vandal?
Assemblyman
Miller's Office Tagged
This tag
has been popping up all over Woodhaven, and in some well-traveled
areas. Jamaica Avenue is a popular target for this punk, as is
Woodhaven Boulevard. This vandal even recently tagged the
building of our Assemblyman, Mike Miller. Our Graffiti
Committee has begun documenting the graffiti vandalism in Woodhaven,
and all this information will be handed over to the NYPD for what we
hope will be eventual prosecution.
