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

Such a beautiful property will now be turned into more queens crap!
Is it hyperbole to say that it looks like a bomb got dropped on it?
who approved this -- and why?
Damn!
The trees are always first to go.
Wunderbar!!
Hitler's forces coundn't have done any better!
Where are the Vallones...too busy lobbying for the same sort of developers who have perpetrated this atrocity?
And please xcuse me beep Katz....how the hell do you encourage tourism in a borough that offers few attractions and destroys what little remains?
My wife's niece is visiting from Colorado.
They are not touring Queens. Today it's the High Line. Tomorrow it's the Statue of Liberty and Rockefeller Center.
With only three days in NYC, why waste time in a backwater borough visiting third rate sites?
That's logical, isn't it?
Where is the Queens Hysterical Society?
Too busy kissing the borough president's ass!
They will be recompensed for their brown nosing with grants to mount....yawn....exhibits.
There goes the neighborhood...
or did that ship sail ages ago?
Vladiimir Horowitz played a Steinway. So did Rubenstein and scores of fabled musicians.
Queens allows this world class historical site to be ravaged.
Even under Soviet totalitarianism, Catherine The Great's palace was restored after it was ravaged in WW II.
So who is the worse barbarian?
Even Alexander Putin has pride in Russia's treasures.
Not so in Queens borough hall.
Constantinides. You hiding under a rock?
A future spiel from a Jack Eichenbaum tour: "See up there on the hill where all the pallets by the factory are piled-up? That used to be the Steinway Mansion."
Queens. No sense of history. No innovation. No vision.
Queens is the arm pit of all the boroughs. Overdeveloped, overpopulated and the dumping ground for homeless shelters and illegal aliens. What a dump!
A few years ago I was luck enough to get a personal tour of the mansion and the grounds. I'm wondering if the rooster is still there.
What a shame.
Vandals.
Sophomoric comments aside (which in themselves is part of the problem) this demonstrates just how dysfunctional Queens is.
Where are all the hipster kids that should be revitalizing the community?
Someone sends an Instagram on some infused bullshit in their coffee and gets a 100 likes. The Steinway Mansion gets hacked apart and all they can think about is the possibility of yet another brewery opening.
Queens does not attract the brightest minds.
Do not confuse hipsters with intelligent innovators.
They are impressed with the hottest new restaurant or a good grade "A" latte.
Queens is a bedroom borough full of boring boobs.
Then we have had a succession of crooked borough presidents who sell off every square inch of land in exchange for campaign contributions from their developer pals.
This is the first step before demolition. Same thing happened to st. saviours in maspeth.
I don't get the comment above digging on the local historic society - they strike me one of the only groups in the area that gives a damn, and they receiving very little actual funding from any of the electeds... all of whom don't give two flying fucks.
