Wow… That’s a lot of Thumbs Down for a Good Cause.
But Haters will Always be Haters!
Hope none of you, Ever Need Blood in an Emergency!!
Fortunately, there are Still lots of Good People in Sunnyside/Woodside!
People were lined up for the Whole Day to Donate Blood. And some didn’t even know about the Free Mets Tickets, and it didn’t matter, because they were there for the Right Reason!

Love from Sunnyside

It’s Ok, when people don’t like the same team.
But we should come together for a common good.
At least donate Blood, when ever you can. Not all this Negative rhetoic.
We should be Embassadors for our community and our City.
I’m Embarrassed.

Which is more unpleasant — a needle in your arm or sitting through a Mets game? At least the needle pain only lasts a few seconds.

Can Queens’ food scene thrive with both trucks and restaurants?

Aug. 19, 2025 By Jessica Militello

In Jackson Heights at 4 p.m. on a Thursday afternoon, Roosevelt Avenue is buzzing with energy as commuters file in and out of subway cars and onto the street and cars and trucks grapple to get down the busy road. The street is filled with rows of shops and restaurants, along with food carts, street vendors and food trucks along the avenue. The almost-but-not-quite the weekend lag leaves hungry commuters faced with another choice to make throughout their day and the array of food truck options in busy areas like Jackson Heights offers customers convenience and delicious food without breaking the bank, two features that can feel vital, particularly with rising costs of living and pressure from inflation.
