Two readers, two letters..."Hi, I am a huge fan of your blog, and I saw this on Queens Boulevard between 77th and 78th avenues...This pile of trash has been sitting there since 8/27...Just wanted to pass it along. Keep up the good work!" - anonymous
And this one:
"Queens Boulevard at one time was a beautiful place, at least in Rego Park and Forest Hills, now it is a cesspool of tacky stores and staggering bad taste. Queens has been notorious for allowing their treasures to be trashed. The lure of money and lack of respect for the people who made Queens a lovely place to live is the cause. Take a look at the Trylon theater that the community spinelessly abandoned." - anonymous

Send an email to Sanitation Commissioner John Doherty and tell him to clean up Queens Blvd. Go to nyc.gov and choose Sanitation from the drop down box---send it directly to the Commissioner. Thanks.
What is the issue? This is what Queens has looked like for a few decades now.
They even talk about it on Astorians.com....before drifting off and discussing their favorite sushi place.
Vibrant! Diverse! and Bustling! you know....
That part of Queens Blvd is SORELY lacking garbage pails. There's a Starbucks, pizze, grocery and deli all on that black and NO garbage pails. My tax dollars put one or two pails on each corner in Manhattan, what about Queens?
I live around the corner, on 78th and Austin Street. That corner of QB is always filthy. Although, in my opinion, the Sbux and the deli clean up their garbage. It's more of the customers themselves, and those waiting for the bus, that trash the area. And the wind whips it around making it difficult to clean. And that old phone is disgusting and full of butts.
I could'nt agree more with what's being said here.
I also Had the unpleasant experience of walking Queens Blvd and not finding any Trash Pails/Cans???
Wht is the city not doing something about it..??
Honestly why are not more people complaining??
It's a disgrace..surely it can't cost that much money for a trash pail??
What's the deal NYC???
In Manhattan's high-traffic areas, they have all gone the "business improvement district" route. It's time for the merchants of Queens Blvd to consider it.
