Evergreen Victory!
For many years, local residents and businesses have hoped that a permanent evergreen tree would be planted at Derosa O’Boyle Triangle (Dewey Avenue between East Tremont and Edison.) The spot is where many community holiday events have occurred. The Throggs Neck BID has accomplished that goal! Working with the Parks Department, a tree will soon be planted there.
