Neighborhood calendar, 2003–2013
Events posted to the QueensWest.com calendar by Jake and by neighbors.
From 2003 the site had a community calendar: Jake posted neighborhood happenings and members could add their own (galleries, theaters, churches, schools, parks groups, local businesses). These are the entries from the site’s 2013 database, newest first. A few member entries had no event date entered; they are listed on the day they were posted, and their text gives the date. Phone numbers are removed; details are as posted at the time.
