Editorial: Christmas Time At Covert Avenue

Friday, 07 December 2012 00:00

The hallways were strewn with garland. The tree was set up near the principal’s office and holiday cheer aplenty at Covert Avenue School during my time there. I remember being a solider in The Nutcracker and I recall all the pleasantries afoot during the holiday season in the building. From time to time, I recall those memories and, in a positive way, dwell on what was. An era I will cherish forever, Covert Avenue is a Christmas memory worth keeping.

Cataloging, digitizing project is ongoing

Established in late 1999, the Floral Park Historical Society (FPHS) continues to move forward with its mission to promote historical research and educate residents about the rich history of Floral Park and Long Island. Over the past 14 years, the society has garnered a collection of artifacts that range from early 1900s newspaper clippings to a charred AMF bowling pin from the bowling alley that blew up in 1987. So, how did FPHS get its roots?

New luncheonette opens up on Floral Park’s Tulip Avenue

The old-fashioned vibe of the 1950’s American luncheonette has been reincarnated on Tulip Avenue. On May 10 at 6 a.m. Dee Dee’s luncheonette officially opened its doors to Floral Park residents, at 142 Tulip Avenue.

For several months, the spot that once hosted Fiores Italian Restaurant was under renovation. Now what stands in its place is a blast from the past for older residents and a new experience for younger ones. The diner’s menu features classics such as egg creams, milk shakes and American burgers, to name a few.
