History of the site:

After 40 years in business the Neptune Diner located in Astoria, Queens, NYC served its last meal on Sunday, July 29. 2024. The owners claimed they were not given a chance to renew their lease, because the property will soon be turned into a residential building.

Since 1983, The Katsihtis brothers have owned the building on Astoria Boulevard but not the land, which was sold in 2018 for over $10 million.

The brothers also had a 35-year lease which expired in 2019. But since then, they were not able to come to a long-term agreement with the landlord.

But that's what Long Island City/Astoria needs is another apartment building. It's already so overbuilt, it's ridiculous. Yet they keep tearing them down and building new ones, many of which are luxury rentals. The neighborhood is losing its character to steel and glass.

Certe volte passiamo mesi o addirittura anni alla ricerca di un particolare pezzo... In venti giorni ho avuto la fortuna di trovarne due... certo, il GD-57 lo avrei preferito in versione "normal" ma non si può avere troppo... :)

Sometimes we spend months or even years to find a particular piece to enrich our collection ... In twenty days I was lucky to find two ... Certainly, I would have preferred the GD 57 "normal" but you can not have too ... :)

Nothing yet on this one, the Janovic Paint building, though the blue and white Pinnacle Realty signs are a telltale indication something's coming down the pike. Those signs are plastered everywhere around Long Island City/Astoria.

There are about 8 establishments on this 4 block island of land and I can see a major realtor coming in, buying them all out, blowing out all of the current buildings and putting up a skyscraper. Just a hunch I've been feeling over the years.

Based on the location of the school across the street, I pulled up the New York City Tree Map (a street map of planted trees) and determined that this is a Crataegus, commonly called hawthorn, quickthorn, thornapple, May-tree, whitethorn, Mayflower or hawberry. Of which there are 1,000 or more species. Gracious, that's a lot of names and information.

You too can learn about trees in NYC via the New York City Tree Map (click to view the map) which includes 873,757 trees of 542 species spread throughout NYC's five boro's

Concrete pumping is a specialized technique used in the construction industry to move freshly mixed concrete from a ready-mix truck to the placement area. This process utilizes hydraulic power to transport concrete through a system of pipes and hoses, significantly simplifying the logistics of concrete placement compared to traditional methods like wheelbarrows or crane-lifted buckets.

Honeywell Street bridge over the Sunnyside Train Yard

-

Honeywell Street/Avenue consists entirely of a bridge (Honeywell Street bridge) which spans across the Sunnyside Train Yard, in Long Island City, Queens, New York City. The bridge begins at Northern Boulevard and ends at Stillwell Avenue. 1 Honeywell aka The Center Building, is the only property with an address on this street.

Honeywell Street was built in 1910 as a bridge over the Pennsylvania Railroad/LIRR (Amtrak) Sunnyside Yard. In 1978, it was closed for structural issues for almost 25 years. Delays in repairs and rebuilding of the bridge along with legal issues were held up until 2002, when work on the 90-year-old span resumed. Honeywell Street reopened on January 17, 2003 after a quarter century.

The NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) collects live Christmas trees and wreaths at the curb as part of Curbside Composting service.

You do not need to make an appointment to have your tree or wreath collected. Curbside composting is collected every week on your recycling day.

Make sure to remove all stands, lights, ornaments, and tinsel before placing a tree or wreath at the curb. Do not put trees or wreaths in bags.

Trees and wreaths that still have items attached cannot be composted.

Live trees are collected, chipped, mixed with leaves, and turned into rich compost for NYC's parks, institutions, and community gardens.

Artificial Trees

Take apart your artificial tree to recycle the base and trunk (pole) with metal, glass, plastic, and cartons on your recycling day. Make sure to remove all lights, ornaments and tinsel before placing at the curb.

For my Flickr Friends: That's me! I loved playing Mrs. Claus! Everyone thought I was the real McCoy!

As soon as I arrived at the event, children of all ages ran up to hug me and to inquire about my "husband" Mr. Claus! It was an amazing experience. I think I've found my true calling!

Operation Pets Alive (operationpetsalive.org) had a booth at the "International Winter on the Waterway" (iWoW) event, held, November 17, 2012. We had a booth filled with hand-made pet-related crafts (including wonderful handsewn aprons in many patterns), along with a "Polar Express" theme, complete with a perfectly-attired "Mrs. Claus". The booth was a huge success.

How about some wildlife photography in the urban area? Saw these soft shell turtles at an aquarium of a local Asian food market. Not sure if they were wild caught or farm raised. In any case, I tried to take a close up shot of it by pressing my phone against the glass of the aquarium.

This is a comparison of what presently is and what will soon be
