My hunch paid off as this structure was completely torn down. I've been photographing the back of the building, as the front faces a police station, and not many people understand why I photograph construction. Several times I've been asked if I was an insurance surveyor. That one makes sense, as many times I'm dressed from work. No, just a hobbyist photographer. Essentially it's my documenting the pre/post gentrification of my neighborhood

112525: D-53 requires a refill

This morning I logged onto my pharmacy website and the refill required pre-approval from my Oncologist's office, whom I sent a message to straightaway and she responded in kind not long thereafter.

~

Upon first meeting my medical team back in March 2025, I showed up to the consultation with a notebook in hand, as well as a printed list of questions, with check boxes and space for answers. I had one copy for myself, as well as additional copies for any others, of which there were a total of 3. The Oncologist remarked how I was so organized.

The messaging system at that hospital, that's a great record of mine. And they've grown to appreciate my writings. This is my life. And I have to make certain of everything.

Newell's Run - Year of the City

Radio Flyer is an American toy company best known for its popular red toy wagon. Radio Flyer also produces scooters, tricycles, bicycles, horses, and ride-ons. The company was founded in 1917 and is based in Chicago, Illinois.

Antonio Pasin immigrated to the United States from Italy in 1914 when he was 16 years old.He started building wooden toy wagons in Chicago in 1917, selling them to area shops. He was working as a craftsman at the time, mostly selling phonograph cabinets, and built small wooden wagons to carry around his tools. After he received numerous requests from customers of phonograph cabinets to buy the wagons as well, he refocused his business on the wagons. His business grew until the Liberty Coaster Company, named in honour of the Statue of Liberty, was formed in 1923. The demands for these original wooden wagons, dubbed the "Liberty Coaster," quickly outpaced production. Incorporating the mass manufacturing techniques of the auto industry, Pasin began making metal wagons out of stamped steel in 1927. At around that time, the red wagons sold for slightly less than $3, or about $40 in 2016 dollars.

Overview of 7 Train Upgrades in Queens

The 7 train line, which connects Flushing to Midtown Manhattan, is undergoing significant upgrades in Queens, including at the 33rd Street–Rawson Street station. These improvements are part of a broader initiative to enhance the subway system's infrastructure and accessibility.

Key Upgrades at 33rd Street–Rawson Street Station

Accessibility Improvements

ADA Compliance:

The station is currently undergoing renovations to become ADA-accessible. This includes the installation of elevators, which is part of a larger $6 billion investment in accessibility across the subway system.

Elevator Installation:

The contract for adding two elevators at the station was awarded in December 2023, with work expected to improve access for all riders.

Structural Enhancements

Temporary Platforms: To accommodate construction, temporary platforms have been set up at the 33rd Street–Rawson Street station, along with other nearby stations.

Service Changes:

As part of the ongoing upgrades, Manhattan-bound 7 trains are skipping the 69th and 52nd Street stations through early 2026. Riders are advised to use nearby stations like 74th Street–Broadway and 61st Street–Woodside during this period.

Timeline and Impact

Construction Duration:

The upgrades are expected to continue into 2026, with various phases of work being coordinated to minimize disruptions.

Customer Experience:

These improvements aim to enhance the overall customer experience by providing better access, improved safety, and modernized facilities throughout the 7 train line.

These upgrades are crucial for ensuring that the subway system meets the needs of all New Yorker's, particularly those requiring accessible transit options.
