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.

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

I see this quite often along my walks to/from my office, though mostly with cinched filled baggies. The fine for public urination must be more than littering, though with the baggies and this bottle, it should be a double penalty
--
In New York City, public urination is a civil offense, not a criminal offense, and is covered by Section 16-118 of the Administrative Code. First-time offenders can receive a fine of up to $75, with subsequent offenses within 12 months resulting in fines of $250–$350 for a second offense and $350–$450 for a third offense. Offenders will receive a civil ticket instead of a criminal summons and will not have a criminal record if found guilty. Administrative courts may also require offenders to perform community service.

Tin Pan Alley was a collection of music publishers and songwriters in New York City that dominated the popular music of the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Originally, it referred to a specific location on West 28th Street, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues in the Flower District of Manhattan, as commemorated by a plaque on 28th Street between Broadway and Sixth. Several buildings on Tin Pan Alley are protected as New York City designated landmarks, and the section of 28th Street from Fifth to Sixth Avenue is also officially co-named Tin Pan Alley.
The start of Tin Pan Alley is usually dated to about 1885, when a number of music publishers set up shop in the same district of Manhattan. The end of Tin Pan Alley is less clear cut. Some date it to the start of the Great Depression in the 1930s when the phonograph, radio, and motion pictures supplanted sheet music as the driving force of American popular music, while others consider Tin Pan Alley to have continued into the 1950s when earlier styles of music were upstaged by the rise of rock and roll, which was centered on the Brill Building. Brill Building songwriter Neil Sedaka described his employer as being a natural outgrowth of Tin Pan Alley, in that the older songwriters were still employed in Tin Pan Alley firms while younger songwriters such as Sedaka found work at the Brill Building.

Founding and early history
Paul Van Doren, his brother James, and Gordon C. Lee opened the first Vans store as "The Van Doren Rubber Company" on March 16, 1966, at 704 East Broadway in Anaheim, California. The business manufactured shoes and sold them directly to the public. Upon opening, twelve customers purchased Vans deck shoes (now called "Authentic"), similar to those manufactured by Keds but with a thicker sole. The store had display models of three styles of shoes, priced between US$2.49 and $4.99, but did not have any inventory ready to sell and Paul Van Doren did not have change to give customers; customers took their shoes home and came back the next day to pay.
Middle history
The original Vans skateboard logo was designed in Costa Mesa, California, in the 1970s by Mark Van Doren, son of then-President and co-owner James Van Doren, at age 13; Mark's design was a stencil, allowing the logo to be spray-painted onto his skateboards. The design was incorporated into the heel tab on Style 95, an early Vans skateboard shoe. Mark's interest in skateboarding is what led Vans to manufacture skateboarding shoes.

Had to spend some time between flights at the Miami airport. This station came in handy in charging my electronics.
Life in the Big City. It's certainly not boring. Last July an electrical outlet in my living room randomly lost power. That outlet connects to a conduit which runs up the wall in a corner of my living room, across the edge of the ceiling in a zigzag formation and connects to an electrical box. So, in July I needed to inform my Super, as well as my Landlord, and ultimately request for any work to be held off until at least December, as I was at that time presently undergoing Kemosabe Liquid Sunshine (Chemo) treatments. And the last thing I needed was dust. I'm so grateful to have a professional Landlord, who agreed to hold off any work until I was feeling better. That was # 1
# 2 is how a few weeks ago I took notice of a large crack in my living room ceiling, and situated on the other side from the broken conduit. Yesterday, my amazing Super came by, cut open the ceiling and repaired it. This afternoon he returned and painted it. The electrical conduit repair will be scheduled for next week. Most of my living room is in boxes.
In my professional life I am an executive assistant*, and those skills come in quite handy in my personal life.
I am also a collector of objet d'art & bric-à-brac. and it was necessary for me to box them all up in prep for the various upcoming construction. A travesty in my world, as I take a lot of pride in my apartment and spend a tremendous amount of time decorating, organizing and cleaning it. So much so that one might wonder how I've time for anything else.
As I continue to heal from the Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN) and return to some form of normalcy, so too, it would seem, how the rest of my life is collectively following along. 😄

Beautiful landscaping, which interestingly enough is situated adjacent to the very busy thoroughfare known as Queens Plaza, where Northern Boulevard meets Queens Boulevard, after which it becomes Jackson Avenue, and there is constant traffic as Queens Boulevard merges west onto the 59th Street bridge.
