Forgotten New York's most recent pages may be of interest to you. See what's left of Old Astoria Village and then take a ride back in the time on the Myrtle Avenue el.

"That's some stately home" (a developer salivates)......
"I could cram at least 50 Mexicans in there" !

"Nah.....I don't need to worry about the creation
of an historic district here.....
the Vallones and CB#1 are on my side"!

The big mouths in Astoria are a classic group apart from anything else you will likely meet in NYC:

No, every neighborhood you find hot-head todies for the developers.

In Astoria, the general apathy of the public seems to be a problem.

Coupled with the overdevelopment those yos want, it doesn not auger well for that community's future.

Its a poor investment for anyone's money.
