I see such strange, weird things along my daily walks each weekday to/fro my place of employment.

Behind me had been a white paneled truck which the sunlight was bouncing off of and being reflected onto the sidewalk and lighting up this discarded red bag. It was really cool

The building went up around 1890 and was the Long Island City Hall before its conversion to a restaurant around 1910. The original proprietors were Martin Heilbut and Herman Kleefeld, whose interlocking H and K initials are preserved in stained glass above the bar. The tavern was known as Kleefeld Hall, Kleefeld’s saloon, Kleefeld’s Hotel and Hielbut and Kleefeld, but in the 1920s it became the Court Square Restaurant. When it was purchased in the 1970s by Bill “Brooks” Gounaris, he named it for himself.

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, or even ticketed.

What if a disabled person needed to get past?

Or a citizen in a wheelchair for that matter?

The Long Island City Clock Tower building had been constructed in 1927 by the Manhattan Company, a holding company that in 1955 merged with the Chase National Bank to create the Chase Manhattan Bank. For more than 60-years, the clock tower building had been the tallest commercial building in Queens, Until it was surpassed in 1990 by other structures, the building with the clock towered over the Queensborough Bridge and the elevated Flushing and Astoria subway lines running next to it.

In 2014, the Long Island City Clock Tower was purchased by developers, using land and air rights from the clock tower, as well as air rights from an adjacent lot owned by and purchased from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), a 77-story residential tower, Sven, was constructed by the Durst Organization.

Working with the Landmarks Preservation Commission, the Durst Organization hired a team of architects to restore the dilapidated glass and cast iron clock faces of this neo-Gothic tower. Those leading the project sought to swap the damaged frosted glass panels with a type of acrylic and replace the cast iron dials with aluminum—durable materials that can endure years in the elements.

The brown-brick landmark, with its castellated clocktower turret, will eventually be repurposed into a commercial and retail space.

You never realize how hilly the borough of Queen's really is until you either walk it or ride a bike through it
