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.

This afternoon while I was walking along Second Avenue, in the Kips Bay neighborhood of Manhattan, I took notice of this window on the opposite side of the avenue and felt this overwhelming need to photograph it. Impromptu inspiration many times materializes like magic, out of thin air. And whenever it does, I feel a short-term emotional connection with the subject. It's such a dynamic feeling, and one that I have not experienced since before I underwent chemotherapy treatments last Summer.
My treatments concluded in early October, and yesterday with the window was a clear indicator of how my overall healing is progressing in the right direction. if anything, this experience has certainly taught me to become more focused on stuff, and to slow down and not to get manic over anything. Essentially, take it easy, Newell. You're going to be fine

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

This photo came about after I had enjoyed a wonderful lunch at "Bread N Wine", this awesome hole-in-the-wall restaurant situated along Lexington Avenue at 92nd St, in New York City. They've amazing food, offer 1/2 sandwiches, have great salads, and delicious soups. Their staff is also wonderful and very laid back, and magically appear when needed. Live music too some evenings. N and I had specifically picked this venue for our lunch, and walked the 30-blocks there from her apartment. Following lunch, I walked across town to Central Park and wandered around its Reservoir, during which time I took this photo, which perfectly matched the essence of my afternoon.

Per Wikipedia:
In 1994 the reservoir was renamed in honor of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis to commemorate her many contributions to the city (which included helping to save Grand Central Terminal from demolition and helping to restore it as an architectural landmark, protesting against proposed structures that would have marred Central Park's beauty, and serving as a board member of the Municipal Art Society). Furthermore, she enjoyed jogging in the area, and the windows of her apartment at 1040 Fifth Avenue overlooked the reservoir.

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.

The gorgeous First Department courthouse was designed by architect James Brown Lord, commissioned by the Justices in 1896. The building was conceived as an expression of the ideals of the law. Lord was responsible for the construction as well as the art and decoration of the building. It opened its doors in 1900.
The iconic, Beaux-Arts structure features a marble facade adorned with classical statues and is a major New York City landmark.

The Sunnyside Train Yard, Queens, NYC is comprised of 180 acres, which is six times the footprint of Hudson Yards, twice the size of Battery Park City, and 30 acres larger than Roosevelt Island. As with the other yards (Atlantic & Hudson), Sunnyside is also slated to have a platform constructed above it, so as to further erect buildings and roads atop that. For several years now major realtors have been building properties around the perimeter of the Sunnyside Yard. They're all like vultures, waiting on the kill.

Apparently Truckers often tie stuffed animals, such as teddy bears, to the front of their trucks for a variety of reasons, many of which are rooted in personal expression and tradition.
