From NY1:In a nod to Douglaston's historic past, several street names in the neighborhood are being changed back to their original names dating back centuries.

Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt

42 avenue in Auburdale/Bayside was "PALACE AVENUE",a century ago.
I'm for renaming some of downtown Flushing's streets to reflect realty.
Huang Kong Lane; Donald Manes Place; Stinky Stavisky Street; Sellout Plaza; Taiwan Boulevard; etc.
How nice for them.
I guess all of us taxpayers...living in the less fashionable nabes...
get stuck paying for their prissy new street signs.
Anonymous, that's how life works. You pay taxes, and sometimes the money goes to things you don't want it to. That's modern society for you.
Wish they would do this elsewhere.
I think my family is the only one left on its block in Glendale that still remembers its old given name.
I doubt all the polacks and dominicans moving in care though.
As taxpayers, we pay for what our leaders consider to be a priority, and their priorities lie in what they think will get them re elected.
Stop electing party hacks and write in your vote. Learn to write in and get away from the parties, both democrat ant republican. If you dont know how then just google NYC writein procedure and learn.

"I guess all of us taxpayers...living in the less fashionable nabes...

Guess what... they pay taxes too...and high ones in fact. Not saying the street signs are a good idea, personally i could care less, just saying that your comment was a little ridiculous.
What about the rest of us? My survey lists the old name of my street in Whitestone. May I have it (name) back?
But aren't addresses easier to find with numbered streets?
