Hey, Jim, sticking your nose into another neighborhood again? I understand this was one community with the sense to reject Queensmarks.
I wonder why.
Queens should be celebrating local history and architecture and not on places where famous people may or may not have lived.
The entire boro is personality driven, as in any one party state. Jackie Robinson, Robert Kennedy, even Horce Harding.
If you are hollowing out a community, the last thing you want to do is give it real history and something for the locals to cling to and potentially conflicts with the developers or poltiicans dreams for it.
Look how every potential landmark is being wiped from LIC.
Ah, shucks, give it a Queensmark.
Hey....I'm an extremely prominent community leader (desiring to remain anonymous for the moment) who took a record crap on June, 24th, 1998 in the #7 Junction Blv'd. station's
public rest room.
I'd like to submit a RFE to the LPC for landmarking this now historic site!
Puh-leeeze....already !
C'mon....this pompous, porticoed
brick box doen't look any much better than a modern Mc Mansion.
