My Grandmother moved to Corona Queens in the 1920s and my family moved to East Elmhurst Queens in 1957, by brother still lives in that house!
I grew up in Glendale, moved down south for a couple decades, and now I'm back in Glendale growing a studio and my best life. No matter where this city's headed I'm happy to be home. This was an excellent piece, thank you. Tell your wife Drew said "great job!"
Thank you sir for shouting out my part of Queens, Springfield Gardens, New York. My family first moved there in the early 1960s when we were minorities coming into what was primarily a Caucasian Neighborhood. These days, gentrification as well as zoning laws have all, but turned it away from a suburban area. I no longer live in NYC and as NYC is situated, as it is currently, I will only visit friends for a hot minute, but not stay any longer than that.
Once a peaceful place of the Algonquin people until the Europeans as usual brought the diseases and war and stealing and stress with the money system and there prescience killed off those poor native people and now we got all these diseases small pox and everything else we have to forever vaccinate for because of Europeans smh
I had read that Astoria was named for John Astor who founded a housing development following the train's arrival to the area. You didn't mention if it had another name previously, only that it was one of the earlier developments that would have predated the Astors.
Many areas in queens have become real 3rd would shitholes !
Grew up in Ridgewood, all six family houses plenty of kids , in the 60s, give us a little rubber ball and we had over a dozen games to play on the streets, candy stores, delis, and bars throughout the neighborhood, most families lived paycheck to paycheck. They were better times.
The younger Part of me is jealous not being raised in the city,but the older me loves my country living with a house,a few acres of property,and a river in front of my house….

My grandmother was born in Brooklyn, married my grandfather who was from Argentina 1924. They came back from Buenos Aires 1928 with my mother and settled in Kew Gardens, Audrey Road English Tudor. My parents met at the Westside Tennis Club at a Valentine's day dance in Forest Hills. My uncle was president of that club, and my father a member for more than 50 years. Native New Yorker and proud of it!
