This is interesting. These frosted glass block windows have existed ever since this building first opened back in 1992. This is a LaGuardia Community College building. They have several buildings in this same area. I'm wondering and extremely curious whether they're planning on changing these windows. No info about this project on their website. This building was designed by famed architect 'Danforth Toan', renown for his brutalist designs.

Long Island City was originally reserved for factories and bakeries. The Long Island Expressway (LIE) has a Van Dam Street exit which runs right through this area and connects to Queens Boulevard and the 59th Street/Queensboro Bridge. That's city-bound traffic. The outbound city traffic exits the bridge via 21st Street, Queens Blvd or Thomson Avenue, which runs into Van Dam St and then several blocks down to the LIE. This building sits smack right on the corner of Thomson Avenue and Van Dam Street. Odd location for a college, though the land may have been cheaper back then.

For several years now, Long Island City had been gentrifying at a break neck speed. And whoever is responsible for changing the windows of this building knows that. It's not just a building. It's a statement. And a really good one. For it will change the dynamic of that entire neighborhood.

Mirabilis jalapa, the marvel of Peru or four o'clock flower, is the most commonly grown ornamental species of Mirabilis plant, and is available in a range of colors. Mirabilis in Latin means wonderful and Jalapa (or Xalapa) is the state capital of Veracruz in Mexico. Mirabilis jalapa is believed to have been cultivated by the Aztecs for medicinal and ornamental purposes.

The flowers usually open from late afternoon or at dusk (namely between 4 and 8 o'clock), giving rise to one of its common names. The flowers then produce a strong, sweet fragrance throughout the night, then close in the morning. New flowers open the following day. It arrived in Europe in 1525. Today, it is common in many tropical regions and is also valued in Europe as a (not hardy) ornamental plant. It is the children's state flower of Connecticut under the name of Michaela Petit's Four O'Clocks.

Here's the design for the upcoming new building. I really like it

www.caliendoarchitects.com/project-gallery/31-05-astoria-...

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.

Certe volte passiamo mesi o addirittura anni alla ricerca di un particolare pezzo... In venti giorni ho avuto la fortuna di trovarne due... certo, il GD-57 lo avrei preferito in versione "normal" ma non si può avere troppo... :)

Sometimes we spend months or even years to find a particular piece to enrich our collection ... In twenty days I was lucky to find two ... Certainly, I would have preferred the GD 57 "normal" but you can not have too ... :)
