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.

As far back as I can remember this corner had been the Harley-Davidson motorcycles dealership, which closed up its business in October 2024. At one time there were also car dealerships along Northern Boulevard.
Per the 'LIC Post', The owner cited current economic conditions and limited real estate options as key factors in the difficult decision.
Hmmm. Sounds like the landlord upped the rent beyond what they could even afford. The Long Island City neighborhood is in a state of gentrification, and the powers that be are molding the entire neighborhood into what they want it to look like. I can see this corner being a coffee shop, or light grocery store.
Those Pinnacle Realty signs are all over the place. I walk everywhere and may notice it more than most

Stupid name for a building. Seems these new buildings may be receiving some kind of write off if they think up the dumbest, quirkiest name.
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.

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.

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.

Demolition is finished at 23-10 43rd Avenue, the site of a six-story school building for PS508Q in Long Island City, Queens. Designed by ESKW/Architects for the New York City School Construction Authority (NYC SCA), the 90,000-square-foot structure will feature classrooms and facilities for 550 students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade.
The school will also offer a city-wide district 75 special education program for students with significant disabilities. The 0.49-acre property is located within the Special Long Island City Mixed-Use District and is bounded by 43rd Avenue to the north, 24th Street to the east, and 23rd Street to the west.
