My mother had never bought these cookies for me, my four siblings or our father. I suppose it must have been a collective agreement how nobody liked them. They're good crushed up in ice cream, though.

Overview of 7 Train Upgrades in Queens
The 7 train line, which connects Flushing to Midtown Manhattan, is undergoing significant upgrades in Queens, including at the 33rd Street–Rawson Street station. These improvements are part of a broader initiative to enhance the subway system's infrastructure and accessibility.
Key Upgrades at 33rd Street–Rawson Street Station
Accessibility Improvements
ADA Compliance:
The station is currently undergoing renovations to become ADA-accessible. This includes the installation of elevators, which is part of a larger $6 billion investment in accessibility across the subway system.
Elevator Installation:
The contract for adding two elevators at the station was awarded in December 2023, with work expected to improve access for all riders.
Structural Enhancements
Temporary Platforms: To accommodate construction, temporary platforms have been set up at the 33rd Street–Rawson Street station, along with other nearby stations.
Service Changes:
As part of the ongoing upgrades, Manhattan-bound 7 trains are skipping the 69th and 52nd Street stations through early 2026. Riders are advised to use nearby stations like 74th Street–Broadway and 61st Street–Woodside during this period.
Timeline and Impact
Construction Duration:
The upgrades are expected to continue into 2026, with various phases of work being coordinated to minimize disruptions.
Customer Experience:
These improvements aim to enhance the overall customer experience by providing better access, improved safety, and modernized facilities throughout the 7 train line.
These upgrades are crucial for ensuring that the subway system meets the needs of all New Yorker's, particularly those requiring accessible transit options.

For many years now, most weekday mornings find me walking past this two storied nondescript brick building in Long Island City, Queens, enroute to my office. I felt the building was abandoned, as never was there any activity in or out of it present. One recent morning the rolled steel door was actually up, revealing an inner sanctum of crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. Wow! Long Island City is certainly full of surprises

Kips Bay was an inlet of the East River running from what is now 32nd Street to 37th Street in Manhattan, New York City. The bay extended into Manhattan Island to just west of what is now First Avenue and had two streams that drained into it. The bay was named after New Netherland Dutch settler Jacobus Hendrickson Kip (1631–1690), son of Hendrick Hendricksen Kip, whose farm ran north of present-day 30th Street along the East River. The bay became reclaimed land, yet "Kips Bay" remains the name of the area.
Kip built a large brick and stone house, near the modern intersection of Second Avenue and East 35th Street. The house stood from 1655 to 1851, expanded more than once, and when it was demolished was the last farmhouse from New Amsterdam remaining in Manhattan. Iron figures fixed into the gable-end brickwork commemorated the year of its first construction. Its orchard was famous, and, when first President George Washington was presented with a specimen of its Rosa gallica during his first administration (1789–1793), when New York was serving as the first national capital city, it was claimed to have been the first garden to have grown it in the Thirteen Colonies.

Construction workers wear neon colors, especially neon yellow (safety yellow) and fluorescent orange (safety orange), to ensure they are highly visible on the job site. These colors stand out against the typical backgrounds found in construction areas, such as earth tones and urban landscapes, significantly reducing the risk of accidents by alerting drivers and machine operators to their presence.

“In the middle of the journey of our life, I came to myself in a dark wood, for the straight way was lost.”
The line signifies a moment of being lost or astray, finding oneself in a "dark wood" where the "straight path" is lost, prompting deeper reflection on life's direction and meaning.
Dante's Poem: The line, written in Italian as "Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita" and often translated as "Midway upon the journey of our life," appears at the beginning of Inferno, the first part of The Divine Comedy.
Inferno
Poem by Dante Alighieri
Dante's Inferno contains 34 cantos (principal divisions of a long poem). It is the first part of his larger work, The Divine Comedy, which has a total of 100 cantos across its three sections:
The three sections of Dante's "Divine Comedy" are Inferno (Hell), Purgatorio (Purgatory), and Paradiso (Heaven). Each section represents a different stage of the soul's journey towards God and explores themes of sin, penance, and salvation.
