Twice per weekday I walk past this small outcrop of earth situated along Skillman Avenue and the Sunnyside Train Yard and it's just a little something that gives me so much pleasure, as each of the seasons are contained within this one small triangular island that's sandwiched between the intersection of Skillman & 43rd Avenues in Long Island City, Queens, NYC

The Greenstreets program converts paved, vacant traffic islands, and medians into green spaces filled with trees, shrubs, and groundcover in an effort to capture stormwater.

 

The program is a part of the NYC Green Infrastructure Plan. All funding for Greenstreet construction under this plan is administered by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).

It's all completely crazy. People are urinating inside of these bottles inside of their cars and seemingly tossing the bottles from their car windows.

The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don’t have to explain things with words.

Our group meeting one another for the first time at the sail away party on the Pool Deck.

All of these establishments have, just recently, gone out of business (?). The job site (middle block) is another example of a stop work order. This entire block will no doubt be blown out to make way for yet another apartment building

Photo taken with the Samsung Fascinate phone on February 18, 2011. Mrs. Echo9er and I decided since we didn't get out for Valentine's Day dinner (BAD!!! weather, traffic, parking) we would hit the Red Lobster in Lacey, WA for lunch. I grabbed a quick shot of part of the interior while waiting for our meal. Modifications made in PSE 9.

Years back that building had been the Long Island City Holiday Inn, though after the pandemic it never bounced back and since mid-2020 it has been closed and shuttered. Curious to see what it'll become next

Over the past week I've taken notice of a distinct haze wafting over the skies of Long Island City, Queens. It's not smog, it's just a thin haze that makes the light very glairy.

 

Us photographers notice so many things ordinary people would pay no mind

A new rendering has been revealed for 29-15 40th Road, an upcoming 12-story residential building in Long Island City, Queens. Few details have been made public about the project, which is being designed by Fogarty Finger Architects and developed by SB Development, which also acquired the adjacent lot at 29-13 40th Road for $8.7 million last fall.

All four of these properties had been built in 1920

 

38-12 31st St, Long Island City (far right)

Asking price: $1,555,000

 

38-14 31st Street, Long Island City (yellow one)

Sold for: $937,650 in October 2023

 

38-18 31st, Long Island City,

Asking price: $1,750,000 - Property was sold in October 2023

 

38-20 31st Street - Current price: $1,298,888

 

I could see one developer buying up all four of these properties, then constructing one large apartment building. My neighborhood desperately needs supermarkets and not even another new apartment building, yet the developers keep building new buildings, which no one can afford, and which either sit empty for years on end, are partially occupied, or completely sold-out. A half-mile radius from my apartment includes at least 20 (twenty) construction sites of new apartment buildings
