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

The studio was designed by Danish architect Bjarke Ingels, whose company is titled Bjarke Ingels Group aka BIG. The two letter country code top-level domain extension for Denmark is dk. So his website address is BIG.dk. Coincidence? Doubtful

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.

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-Ã -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. 😄

* An executive assistant (EA) provides high-level administrative support to senior executives to help them stay organized and productive. Their duties include managing calendars, scheduling meetings, booking travel, and handling correspondence. EAs often also manage special projects, handle sensitive information, and act as a point of contact for other staff or external partners, playing a crucial role in an executive's efficiency and daily operations.

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.

They're constructing yet another public storage building on Northern Blvd. As for the other two, I have never seen anyone, ever, go inside either one. And I walk past this area twice per day.

Concrete pumping is a specialized technique used in the construction industry to move freshly mixed concrete from a ready-mix* truck to the placement area. This process utilizes hydraulic power to transport concrete through a system of pipes and hoses, significantly simplifying the logistics of concrete placement compared to traditional methods like wheelbarrows or crane-lifted buckets.
(*) Ready-mix concrete is concrete that is manufactured in a batch plant and delivered to the job site ready to use. It is ideal for large patios, driveway renovation, pool decks, home foundation slabs, parking lots, and new sidewalk construction.
