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.

This morning along my walk to work I happened upon this 5 toothed iron bucket for a backhoe sitting by its lonesome along the walkway on the Honeywell Street bridge, and with no work crew, or anyone for that matter, in sight. It hadn't been there yesterday afternoon so probably a night crew. Still kinda strange. I noticed it from a distance and just couldn't figure out what it could possibly be. Being constructed of iron is no doubt why it was still there as it probably weighs a ton.

The best part of my job is my ability to work to/fro my place of employment, and I certainly see a lot of strange people and things along my walks. The "regular commuters" are apparently the one's in the cars, on the buses and subways, though us walkers, we are certainly having much more fun
