Forest Hills Datebook

Just a a couple of dates I have heard about hear and there:

• I have read that Common, the new tapas lounge in the Austin St. Mall will open this Wednesday. But I have not had a chance to confirm that myself yet, so if you go there all ready for your tappi and it is still closed, please don’t harass me!
• The vote by the West Side Tennis Club on whether to accept Cord Meyer’s proposal to destroy the historic tennis stadium to make room for condos has been rescheduled for late September, I believe Sept. 23rd, to apparently make sure all the members are back from their summer vacations.

Tennis Stadium Meeting Scheduled for Today

The West Side Tennis Club is supposed to hold an informational meeting for its members today on the future of the Tennis Stadium. Published reports said that during the meeting local real estate developer Cord Meyer will present its plan for the construction of a residential development on the land where the Stadium now sits. The destruction of Forest Hills’ most famous landmark would have to be approved by two thirds of the Club’s members. The vote is scheduled for August 19th.
