An idealistic greenway once left for dead could be making a comeback. The Southern Queens Greenway, a 32-mile pathway that would connect Alley Pond Park in Queens to Highland Park in Brooklyn, was originally mapped out by New York City officials way back in 2000 but was only partially completed. At the end of last…

People who know him, might find it hard to believe. Believe it or not, 64-year-old longtime Rockaway resident and horse handicapper Dan Edwards has never been to Las Vegas. On Thursday morning, Sin City will get its first look at Edwards, known in some circles as Suntan Dan and in other circles as Jocko….
Citywide statistics might say one thing but Rockaway is another matter. Although 2014 was marked as the year with fewest recorded murders in New York City history, it doesn’t look like 2015 will be a record breaker if Rockaway is any indication. There were six total murders in Rockaway in 2014, the peninsula has seen…
While the fight picks up against the Port Ambrose LNG project, another local natural gas project is making its way toward completion.

Milk has always been a difficult food for my family to obtain. We drink 2 gallons of whole milk a week and its short shelf life makes it impossible to buy in bulk. Rockaway’s geography and tolls add to the problem. For this article, I went on a quest to find the best and most…
I can’t believe my parents never got arrested or investigated. The things they let us do. Unlike the rest of you exaggerators, I really did live a mile from school though maybe it wasn’t uphill both ways. From first grade on, I walked to and from. So’d most kids in the neighborhood. Except for the…

Not that it’s ever been a secret but now others are in on the fact that Rockaway is a great place to knock a few back.

Think it was cold last week? Faucets were dripping all over Broad Channel last week when the overnight temperature dropped into the single digits with wind chills well below zero! In the middle of the cold snap I received an email from our neighbor, Dr. Kathleen “Kit” Uvino PhD, who is presently a professor at…
Today’s topic is screening tests – what’s recommended and what is not. In other words when should a test like a colonoscopy be done on a patient without symptoms.
