A protracted dispute between a Queens couple and the city is nearing a terminus, as the City Council is mulling over the historic status of a Douglaston home.

Chalk another one up to the failure of preservation to embark on a public education program decades ago.
They are starting to look like an isolated group out of touch with the broader city.
Perhap Queens residents should withhold their support to city wide groups until they come up with some programs to help grassroots groups accross the city.
They can start with St Savours.
Good idea. Queens should not support these organizations.
Jackson Heights, Sunnyside, Douglaston, stand with your fellow Queensites!
