From Ephemeral NY:These boys, clad in signature jailhouse-striped swimsuits, were part of a group of Astoria kids who called themselves the Aquazanies.
In the 1940s, they regularly put on a diving and comedy show (with props, music, and even animals joining them for some high-dive fun) on Wednesdays nights at Astoria Pool, one of the massive public swimming facilities Robert Moses built in the 1930s.

Alas, the diving pool has been closed and rotting away for decades now.
Sic transit gloria mundi.
Looks like Community Board one trying to understand a developer's proposal.
Looks like the mods on astorians.com forming board policy.
Looks like the local elected officials doing a show for the developers.
Looks like the LPC in session.
Looks like an HDC coffee chat.
