"When Bloomberg and pals passed the ruins of a legendary bar and its fence of doom, they were booed soundly. The band behind them immediately started playing.
The hand-banged out copper bar from Patrick's Pub was from the 1964 World's Fair. It was an icon of Northeast Queens/ North Shore LI for generations. Every bit of it was smashed over a weekend (and the owner just paid a fine as a cost of getting it done). It's slated to become work barracks with retail on the first floor." - Joe

Nice to see Maltese's belly made an appearance in the parade. When is he due, anyway?
Is that Clairol Christine with the mayor?
Oh boya, I'm Eric Gioia, and I'm a-runnin' for public advocate! Get away from the cameras, Chuck, they're here to photograph ME!
Wow, Bill Thompson found Queens.
Hey Mike, how did you get to Little Neck via public transportation?
They lured Mayor Mike into Little Neck by promising to rename it for his imperial presence....."Bloomsbury"!
(He's already done enough to bury New York)!
Judging by the number of "boos" that fell upon the Mayor's ears..... I guess he'd never expect to get these votes again in another run for office!
That wasn't Maltese it Was former council speaker Vallones belly. I was there and I don't recall that many people booing, there were some but the majority were cheering the mayor.
I walked the whole route
Really? Well what the hell is Vallone doing with Maltese's wife then?
That wasn't Maltese's wife it was Gloria D'Amico Maltese wasn't even at the Littleneck Parade
Hey Michael Kane, photographer of the Queens Chronicle, Animal and the Lou Grant show are TV history....Watsamatter, you can't afford a pair of long pants?
Maybe Mike was going with the "gangsta" look.
Yeah.....County Clerk D'Amico.....the "mamma mia" of Democratic Machine politics!
Son Lenny ain't so great either!
Pull out you ear plugs ass you mayoral kisser .....that wasn't applause for Praetor Bloomberg.....they were good old fashioned Bronx "raspberries" !!!!
