Drive around the plant and you see all the street signs bleached from the pollution. Asthma is a big problem in the community.
Do you read about this in the newspapers? Absolultely not!! They only want to report nice things about the community. You know, developers and polticians and what passes for civics in that part of our world giving plaques to each other. The same tired names over and over and ....
The waterfront is no place for powerplants in this age of terrorism. The powerplants are leaving Manhattan and expanding in Astoria.
Some political leadership.
Calling all you Manhattan ex-patriot yuppies
planning on moving into
vibrant, bustling, colorful Astoria.
Got your Ralph Lauren
hazardous materials moon suits handy?
Hell....
Astoria has been in the business
of dealing with toxic waste for decades.
Witness the Vallone family !
No. 1 Anonymous: The street signs are bleached because of long exposure to the sun. It's a borough wide problem not just limited to Astoria and the environs around ConEd. The same bleached signs can be seen in Bayside
