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

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.

Queens, New York (Random)

In the mid-1980's I had attended photography school in this red bricked corner mansion, which stands at 94th Street and Fifth Avenue, directly across from Central Park in New York City. Isn't that wild. From the early 1970's thru until the late 1990's, The International Center of Photography (ICP) had its founding location, museum and school situated in the Willard D. Straight house, a mansion built along NYC's famed museum mile

 

I had enrolled at ICP to study the art & science of black and white film photography

This pair of mourning doves lives beneath my bedroom air-conditioning unit and they sun themselves each morning and afternoon outside of my kitchen window. I'm an early riser, though these two are up each morning at 4:30 a.m. sharp

~

A visiting mourning dove is widely interpreted as a positive spiritual sign, symbolizing peace, love, hope, and comfort. Often viewed as messengers from God, angels, or deceased loved ones, they bring messages of encouragement, encouragement to heal, and a sense of protection, particularly during times of grief. They represent the end of difficult times and encouragement to move forward.

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

A new rendering has been revealed for 29-15 40th Road, an upcoming 12-story residential building in Long Island City, Queens. Few details have been made public about the project, which is being designed by Fogarty Finger Architects and developed by SB Development, which also acquired the adjacent lot at 29-13 40th Road for $8.7 million last fall.

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

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.
