I was on this train and in the picture with my friend (2 blonde girls) - lol. It was interesting how they were staging pictures for this.

Yeah, like that development "dream team" of the Wilpons, MSG and the Isles owners was going to lose to a soccer team! haha

Now let's see how they can either a) botch this development or b) dump it on the backs of taxpayers or c) both!

All wonderful for the Islanders except Tavares will be signing for fat money elsewhere after this year. Isles can't afford him.

Belmont is Queens (ha ha). Proof is that they are developing there. If it were really LI, no way they build anything except a CVS or check cashing store. What happens with the albatross mausoleum...Disney on Ice featuring Billy Joel in monthly residency?!

[S.I.B.]

so now what's the point of the "renovated" coliseum? Who even owns it these days (I can't keep track). Is it Prokorov?

It's next door to Queens Village, so I have a problem calling Elmont LI.

That's ridiculous, that's like saying Queens Village isn't Queens because it's next to Elmont

Can we hear more about your friends?

They never left the island.
Brooklyn and Queens are on Long Island.
