Donald Manes's vault
This scene takes place in Kew Gardens at Queens Borough Hall, office of the Queens Borough President, currently held by one Donovan Richards.
This was taken during the Winter Solstice and Christmas holiday, where there was an incident at the Umbrella Hotel across the street, but it’s being documented now because of the significance of today’s date. Marking the anniversary of the day the longest reigning Queens Borough President Donald Manes attempted suicide by the Grand Central Parkway.
Walking by the disheveled tree the Hall set up, there was a monument that caught my eye
Looks like the long ago World's Borough Prez left a time capsule here just a few years before his personal troubles and city scandals got exposed. And it's got another 61 years until whatever contents will finally be found when the "world's borough" turns 300 (!!!). It's a wonder what could possibly be stored in here, but from the looks of the cracks around it maybe Donnie pried it open on intermittent weekends to store his cash bribes in here in the dead of night?...

Queens borough president hired Brooklyn civic
Michael Mallon serves as Director of Intergovernmental Affairs for Queens Borough President Donovan Richards Jr. In this role, Michael oversees the Borough President’s Civic Engagement Committee, a consortium of nonprofit and civic leaders who volunteer their time to educate members of the public on ranked choice voting, redistricting and reapportionment, and other matters of concern for New York City voters. The Committee was instrumental in driving up NYC’s Census 2020 response rate. Previously, Michael served as Communications Director for the NYC Council’s Finance Chair. Michael has helped thousands of Queens residents overcome workplace and housing discrimination, immigration issues, domestic violence and other concerns.
This is an odd hire. Donnie couldn't find anybody in the world's borough at all? I guess Mike doesn't mind long commutes, I bet he drives. Queens gets the money and the cronies.

Ida homeowner victims getting desperate and organized
Three weeks after the remnants of Hurricane Ida unleashed torrential rains that wrecked portions of their homes, a group of Queens homeowners are accusing the city of failing to address decades-long complaints about flooding issues that have rendered their properties worthless.
On Tuesday, roughly 20 homeowners who live on three blocks in a low-lying section of Hollis assembled a protest in front of Queens Borough Hall. They argued that climate change, coupled with the marshy environment of southeast Queens, had created a massive infrastructure challenge that demands higher expertise in the form of the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
Even then, they conceded, their problems with flooding dates back decades and may ultimately not be solvable through even the best engineering fixes. In 2018, Mayor Bill de Blasio committed nearly $2 billion in sewer improvements to alleviate flooding in southeast Queens. But many homeowners were skeptical of how long it would be before they felt the impact of those ongoing projects. One by one, they took turns telling horror stories of water damage they had suffered over the years. When it rains, neighbors collectively rush outside to clear the gutters. Most own their own sump pumps.
"If they can't fix it, buy out the homeowners. I don't think anybody would have a problem with that," said Amit Shivprasad, whose family owns a home on 183rd Street near 90th Avenue where two tenants, a woman and her son, drowned in the basement.
A buyout would not be unprecedented. In 2013, following Hurricane Sandy, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced a program to buy out flood-prone homes, mostly in Staten Island. The state has gone on to spend $655 million in federal relief aid to buy more than 600 homes.
Shivprasad said part of the cost of owning homes vulnerable to flooding is the constant stress.
"You cannot go on a vacation. You cannot sleep at night when it rains. This is how sad it has become," he said.

St. Albans residents demand Billie Holiday monument to be placed in Addesleigh Park, Chirlane McCray wants it by Queens Borough Hall
Jamaica Patch
First Lady Chirlane McCray in March made a much-heralded announcement: The city would build a monument to jazz singer Billie Holiday, one of four new statues honoring trailblazing women.
It was a first step in eliminating the gender disparity in city monuments. Of the 150 statues in New York, just five depict women.
But some residents in Southeast Queens felt slighted.
The Billie Holiday monument, the city announced, would rise by Queens Borough Hall in Kew Gardens — and that didn't seem right, they thought.
"She's a major part of our neighborhood," Southeast Queens resident Amir Abbady told Patch. "The statue should belong in the neighborhood she's from."
Abbady, who chairs Queens Community Board 12's parks committee, is championing an effort to bring the Billie Holiday monument to the Addisleigh Park Historic District, where the pioneering jazz artist once lived.
"Our Southeast Queens community would benefit from a statue of this successful black woman for cultural heritage purposes," Queens Community Board 12 Chair Rene Hill wrote in an email to Patch.
Jeff Gotlieb, president of the Central Queens Historical Association, suggests that the city instead put the monument in St. Albans Park. The park is just blocks away from Holiday's former home on
Linden Boulevard.
The city hasn't yet decided on the exact site for Billie Holiday's monument, but a spokesperson for the city's cultural affairs department said they are focusing on the area by Queens Borough Hall, calling it the "most appropriate" location.
Guess what monument used to be at that "most appropriate" location...

The Statue of Civic Virtue.
Like the statue, civic virtue in your city ceases to exist or literally thrown in a graveyard.
There is a demented cult in de Blasio's administration, and it's being led by his co-mayor wife.
