The Old Astoria crapscape

Honestly, these photos are just the tip of the iceberg with regards to documenting the development crimes that have been committed against Old Astoria. The sad thing is that there was so much to save and it was blown...






But I have great news! Three already landmarked districts in Manhattan are being expanded by LPC!

They're also very concerned about crap being built in already-designated historic districts!

Come over and see this in person. The pictures don't make it look half bad. I live around the corner and have been familiar with this area since I was 16 and I can tell you the last 5 years or so have erased 150 years of history.

The new buildings are a real poke in the eye.

It would be nice if the residents of Astoria who don't like what has happened let their voices be known on election day. Vote out the ones who let this happen; Vallone and company. Then again Astoria has so many new residents they may not realize what has happened and will happen if they vote for Vallone.
