Thank you so much for this trip down memory lane. I’m always pleasantly surprised to read the “old” names that pop up on your page.

I’m a long-time resident of Forest Hills in Queens and, until about 10 years ago, there was a coffee shop near the Midway theater on Queens Boulevard and Continental Avenue. Above the coffee shop were the offices of Councilman Povman and Geraldine Ferraro.  Each morning, as I took coffee with my friends before work, you could always find Jimmy Breslin and/or Pete Hamill at one of the tables. Jimmy was a regular there since he lived close by in Kew Gardens. Of course, around the corner was the Democratic Party’s Queens offices. What a star-studded group we had up there: Donny Mannes, Alan Hevesi, etc.

Thank you again for this wonderful start of the new year.

Happy New Year.

Roz Palmer
