BRADLEY HAWKS editor-in-chief FEATURES CONTENTS Dear western Queens, I cannot more wholeheartedly wish you a joyous holiday season—regardless of your creed. e media is so full of reasons to doubt humanity that it brings me immense joy to work for a publication that genuinely attempts to celebrate the very best of what this community brings to the world table. Echoing that thought, I hope that you will visit our new online home at QNS.com, which has been lovingly in the works for a long time. Our publisher serves several other outlets, and it is our hope that QNS.com will be the one o cial source for all things related to Queens. You can nd this issue of BORO in its entirety under Digital Editions. We hope you will read, comment and add your own events to our community calendar. Please take some time to stop by the new location of the holiday market, located at Atlas Park at 8000 Cooper Ave. on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. But regardless of how you spend the season, I hope that rst and foremost, you celebrate each day with love.
