There will be a car wash to benefit the Flatlands Volunteer Ambulance Corps and the Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts of America, Local Cub Pack 505 and Troop 510.
It will take place Sunday, June 20 from 10:00AM-2:00PM at the Flatlands Volunteer Ambulance Corps Headquarters located at 4623 Avenue N and Schenectady Avenue.
Exterior car wash is $5.00.
All money raised will be going towards the volunteer ambulance corps and the Boy/Cub Scout Troop.
Come out and support them and get your car washed at the same time! After all this rain and pollen, it sure could use it (I KNOW MINE CAN!)

As discussed on MARINEPARKER last week, the recent rise in crime has had many local citizens alarmed, and rightfully so. However, these crimes are not just central to Marine Park, as Mill Basin has been targeted as well. Last month, MPCA President Greg Barruso told the 63rd Precinct:
There was an armed robbery on Avenue S and East 37th Street last week where three 17-year-old kids were held up and they took their money and jewelry,” he said. “I’m not happy that there’s been nine robberies since November. I want to know, what are you doing about it? You have no arrests, you have no descriptions.
At last week’s Mill Basin Civic Association, Lieutenant Robert Haley had very similar concerns. With both local neighborhoods now being seen as easy targets, its important for neighbors to be vigilant and if something appears to be suspicious, call it in to the 63rd Precinct.
In addition, the next MARINE PARK CIVIC ASSOCIATION meeting will be held on Tuesday February 23rd at 8:00 PM in the P.S.222 Auditorium – these issues NEED to be addressed.

I braved today’s weather to go around the neighborhood and take some “snow pictures.” Snow can definitely be a nuisance at times, but it sure is pretty!

Clearly taken in much better weather, these pictures confirm that the “second story question” for 3512 Quentin Road has been answered – apparently it is allowed. All violations for this site has been resolved and building is going forth as planned. According to Department of Finance data, this one-story building is already at its maximum allowable floor area – so how an extra story of 5,700 square feet can be permitted is beyond me. Money talks, I guess.
If you think the current traffic and congestion on Quentin Road is bad, take a walk/drive there now to see all the construction/cement trucks blocking the avenue.
