All of these establishments have, just recently, gone out of business (?). The job site (middle block) is another example of a stop work order. This entire block will no doubt be blown out to make way for yet another apartment building

William Tarr’s 1974 weathering Cor-Ten steel black sculpture stands atop the plaza of Martin Luther King Jr. High School down the street from Lincoln Center on the Upper West Side at 66th and Amsterdam. All four sides of this cube include important dates in the life of the civil rights leader as well as famous quotes.
The cube is also covered with lots of cryptic initials. BTWHS/MC/CTS/BU is a list of his schools: Booker T. Washington High School, Morehouse College, Crozer Theological School and Boston University. SCLC/MIA are the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the Montgomery Improvement Association. On another side are the initials of his family: CSK is Coretta Scott King, and and a block with his four children: Yolanda King, Martin Luther King III, Dexter King and Bernice King. ‘RDA stands for the Rev. Ralph D. Abernathy; ‘JJ for the Rev. Jesse Jackson and ‘BR for Bayard Rustin. Among the dates in his life are 12/10/64, for his acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize and 4/4/68 for the date of his assassination.
“Let us be dissatisfied until every man can have food and material necessities for his body, culture and education for his mind, freedom and human dignity for his sprit.”

About the Artist:
William (Bill) Tarr (1925 – 2006) was a sculptor, painter, photographer, magician, bestselling author, husband, father, and dedicated artist for over 50 years. His monumental public works have been seen by millions from all over the world, and his 30 x 30 x 30 ft. welded steel memorial to the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King is perhaps New York City’s most renowned public work. Yet, Bill remains relatively unknown.

This one thing, this soon to open new Starbucks location is so significant to this little area of Long Island City as it's setting the stage for the ongoing building boom that will soon expand into this region beginning around July 2024. Both exciting and frightening.

Twice per weekday I walk past this small outcrop of earth situated along Skillman Avenue and the Sunnyside Train Yard and it's just a little something that gives me so much pleasure, as each of the seasons are contained within this one small triangular island that's sandwiched between the intersection of Skillman & 43rd Avenues in Long Island City, Queens, NYC

The Greenstreets program converts paved, vacant traffic islands, and medians into green spaces filled with trees, shrubs, and groundcover in an effort to capture stormwater.
The program is a part of the NYC Green Infrastructure Plan. All funding for Greenstreet construction under this plan is administered by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).

Over the past week I've taken notice of a distinct haze wafting over the skies of Long Island City, Queens. It's not smog, it's just a thin haze that makes the light very glairy.

All four of these properties had been built in 1920
38-12 31st St, Long Island City (far right)
Asking price: $1,555,000
38-14 31st Street, Long Island City (yellow one)
Sold for: $937,650 in October 2023
38-18 31st, Long Island City,
Asking price: $1,750,000 - Property was sold in October 2023
38-20 31st Street - Current price: $1,298,888
I could see one developer buying up all four of these properties, then constructing one large apartment building. My neighborhood desperately needs supermarkets and not even another new apartment building, yet the developers keep building new buildings, which no one can afford, and which either sit empty for years on end, are partially occupied, or completely sold-out. A half-mile radius from my apartment includes at least 20 (twenty) construction sites of new apartment buildings
