Hi Christian,
Excellent blog. My wife and I moved into Sunnyside from Manhattan in August ‘09. We love it here.
I am curious to find out how I might get listed in your Neighborhood Stores/Professionals section. I am the owner of a Drupal Web Design and Audio/Video Production Company. We can be found here: http://banghousestudios.com . We are especially interested in working with local businesses.
Thanks,
Joel Moore

Help Sunnyside and Woodside Go Green!
Next week, North Star Fund is hosting two green visioning sessions where residents of Sunnyside, Woodside, Astoria and Long Island City can help shape plans to make their neighborhoods greener. Residents can voice their ideas on how to invest $7.9 million to improve their community environment.
The green visioning sessions will offer:
· panel discussions, moderated breakout sessions, priority-setting activities
· breakfast and lunch for all participants
· language interpreters and childcare, upon request (Please make requests by Friday, March 12)
Green Visioning Sessions:
Saturday, March 20th, 9:30am – 4pm
Sunnyside Community Services
43-31 39th Street, Sunnyside
(Between 43rd Ave. & Queens Boulevard)
Saturday, March 27th, 9:30am – 4pm
Greater Astoria Historical Society
Quinn Building, 4th Floor
35-20 Broadway, Long Island City
(Broadway & 36th Street)
This unusual opportunity for local residents is the result of a settlement between community groups like Western Queens Power to the People and Con Edison after the 2006 power outage that left countless Queens families in the dark for several days.
If you’d like to attend the green visioning sessions, please RSVP to info@northstarfund.org or call 212-620-9110.
