Each morning along my walk to my office I happen upon a multitude of freshly discarded banana peels on the Honeywell Street bridge. Lotta people eating bananas for breakfast. Lots of litter bugs.

And these peels don't breakdown over the course of a few days. Try many months. Not just a few. The peels blacken and solidify and look petrified

This building went up so fast that I barely had an opportunity to track its progress. There's just so much construction taking place in Long Island City, that even I can't keep up with it all

They're constructing yet another public storage building on Northern Blvd. As for the other two, I have never seen anyone, ever, go inside either one. And I walk past this area twice per day.

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

Eight Story Complex Including Big Asian Supermarket Proposed for 38th Avenue in Dutch Kills

The development is expected to be eight stories tall and go up on 38th Avenue between 30th Street and Old Ridge Road. The top six floors would be for apartments, while the bottom two floors–totaling 12,000 square feet– to be set aside for an Asian supermarket.

The Dollar Tree store located at 38th Street & Queens Blvd in Sunnyside, Queens is permanently closed. Mark my words, I guarantee you this entire corner building will be torn down with an apartment building put in its place. Queens Blvd, from 33rd Street east to 50th Street is on the brink of major construction, which will transform that entire strip.

This one has been sitting as is for the longest and has become an eyesore for my neighborhood

This plot was to have been a 17 story hotel, though as with many sites there was either a stop work order, or the deal fell through completely.

I feel how this section of Long Island City is on the brink of blasting off on the super sonic gentrification rocket, as the LIC BID expanded into this area, and the building pace will increase significantly in 2026.

My Kind of Town

(song by Frank Sinatra)

Chorus

My kind of town, Chicago is

My kind of town, Chicago is

My kind of people, too

People who smile at you

And each time I roam, Chicago is

Calling me home, Chicago is

Why I just grin like a clown

It's my kind of town
