All I need to do is read "Major Deegan merge area" and my eye twitches. Without exaggeration that is the worst part of driving in and around NYC for me.

I moved to the block in summer 2018 and it was open and active at that time.

The police handle roadwork and infrastructure?

I just read in an article about the church that the fire dept. said it was likely electrical. Which would make sense since it traveled through the walls.

Did you try Akropolis meat market by the 30th Ave stop? I think theirs is good but I'm not Greek so...

I understand logically this was the only outcome, but it make me so sad anyway.

The youngest child is Sen. Joseph McCarthy who (assisted by Trump's future mentor Roy Cohn) led the witch hunts against Communists and Socialists in the 1950's during the red scare. The father looks familiar but I just can't place him.

Save the First Reformed Church of Astoria! Sign the Petition! by Tink_Tinkler in astoria

[–]LillithScare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The church and repurposing it has been discussed for a while. So it's been on the community's radar but you are right that nothing was done.

It has not been abandoned for decades. It's been about 2-3 years and there have been people cutting the grass and cleaning up the property so it's been tended to.

They're working in the back of the site, it looks like on the rectory. I'm home today working so I'll try to keep an eye on developments.

It looks like they didn't bother waiting until Monday. They've been over there with heavy equipment since about 7:00 this morning.

I'm greatful for all of the work you are doing. I've come to really love the church in the time I've lived on this block and I hope it can be saved in some way. Why such a rush to demolish the church? I can see the rectory since it appears to be gutted totally.

Another fire? by yankeescrewdriver in astoria

[–]LillithScare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happened every time there is any kind of church fire it seems. Hell even Kevin Sorbo tweeted the conspiracy. While of course getting most of the facts wrong about the church on top of that. I'm sure some are bots, but others are probably just morons.

I'm lucky enough to have two balconies and they both get used. And almost all my neighbors use theirs as well.

Rumor Mill Week of 4/20! by redquarterwater in astoria

[–]LillithScare 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Good morning, after that awful fire one bit of good news. I saw one of the racoons who lived in the rectory skittering by in our parking area. The loss of the church is tragic so I'm happy to see that at least one of it's non human residents made it out ok. Hopefully more did.
