The flowers of many hydrangea act as natural pH indicators, sporting blue flowers when the soil is acidic and pink ones when the soil is alkaline.

Hydrangea commonly named the hortensia, is a genus of more than 70 species of flowering plants native to Asia and the Americas. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Korea, and Japan.
--
Hydrangea is derived from Greek and means ‘water vessel’ (from ὕδωρ húdōr "water" + ἄγγος ángos or ἀγγεῖον angeîon "vessel"),in reference to the shape of its seed capsules.
The earlier name, Hortensia, is a Latinised version of the French given name Hortense, honoring French astronomer and mathematician Nicole-Reine Hortense Lepaute. Philibert Commerson attempted to name the flower Lepautia or Peautia after Lepaute. However, the flower's accepted name later became Hortensia. This led to people believing Lepaute's name was Hortense, but the Larousse remarks that this is erroneous, and that the name probably came from hortus, garden.

This one thing, this soon to open new Starbucks location is so significant to this little area of Long Island City as it's setting the stage for the ongoing building boom that will soon expand into this region beginning around July 2024. Both exciting and frightening.

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

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).

There's NO Parking on Sidewalks
_____
It's so out of control. And some are placing their neon construction vests on the dashboard as proof they can just randomly do as they please, and are seemingly getting away with it. These vehicles are never towed.
What if a disabled person needed to get past?
Or a citizen in a wheelchair for that matter?

The latest School of Visual Arts (SVA) poster, which went up in New York City subway stations around New York City earlier this winter, features Pablo Delcan’s illustration of an oval-shaped chick, drawn in response to the prompt “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?”
“The poster was [developed through] a crowdsource of prompts sent in by faculty, students, and staff from SVA,” Delcan says. Delcan selected 50 prompts to illustrate and sent the resulting works to Gail Anderson (BFA 1984 Media Arts), chair of the College’s BFA Advertising and BFA Design departments and creative director of the Visual Arts Press, SVA’s in-house design studio. The prompt came from Delcan’s friend and former classmate Daniel Rodriguez (BFA 2012 Graphic Design).

My neighborhood desperately needs additional supermarkets and for the past several years now there's been a huge influx of Asian citizens moving into the area. Whoever's responsible for constructing this Asian-centric supermarket is going to make a fortune

The development is expected to be eight stories tall and go up on 38th Avenue between 30th Street and Old Ridge Road. The top six floors would be for apartments, while the bottom two floors–totaling 12,000 square feet– to be set aside for an Asian supermarket.
