One of the nicest things about my job is the ability to work to/fro my place of employment each day. And rain or shine, I walk and love it! Along my walks I certainly see a lot of strange people and things. The "regular commuters" are apparently the one's in the cars, on the buses and subways, though us walkers, we are certainly having much more fun

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.

Hard to believe how I'm going to turn 62 this August. Feel amazing. Been off both alcohol (2.5-years) and cigarettes (3-years), having quit both cold turkey. I was ready. I'm proud of myself for that

About Green Infrastructure
New York State Pavilion
Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in Queens, New York City
Structures built for World’s Fairs are usually built to be taken down. This happened with nearly every building from the 1939 World’s Fair, including the Trylon and Perisphere, and most of the buildings from the 1964 Fair. While many of the major pavilions were deconstructed (and sometimes shipped to other places), there are still remnants of the Fairs that exist today. These vestiges of the fairs have since become iconic landmarks of New York City such as the Parachute Jump in Coney Island, the Unisphere in Flushing Meadow-Corona Park in Queens, and the Queens Museum. Another World’s Fair remnant that it is hard to picture New York City without is the New York State Pavilion. Once the 1964-65 Fair wrapped, however, the future of the Pavilion was uncertain.

My neighborhood desperately needs additional supermarkets and for the past several years now there's been a huge influx of Asian citizens moving into the area. Whoever's responsible for constructing this Asian-centric supermarket is going to make a fortune

Momos are a type of steamed filled dumpling in Tibetan and Nepali cuisine that is also popular in neighboring Bhutan, Bangladesh, and India. The majority of Tibetan momos are half-moon in shape like jiaozi, while Nepali momos are normally round like baozi. Momos are usually served with a sauce known as achar influenced by the spices and herbs used within many South Asian cuisines

This is the second time I've ordered Noren (curtains) from this company, Sand Snow, based in Lithuania. The quality for the price is incredible. I am very specific with certain things in my life, and this is a winner.
The yellow Noren I purchased is called "Chartreuse Yellow," which I found interesting — as that's similar to the name of a famous French liqueur, Yellow Chartreuse, named by the monks of the Chartreuse monastery in the mountains of southeast France, who began producing it in the 17th century. I'm sure there's some historical reason they used that specific name for the yellow. It all fascinates me. History.
