Awesome!

Dez, I moved out of JH in the 80's. To tell you the truth, I  did not go around 35th Ave.  I only went as far as 37th. Ave. When I lived there I didn't have a car. I used to work in Manhattan, and I lived on 72nd. St. Between 41st. Avenue, and Woodside. I used to walk to 82nd. St. and shop at Fields, and the Boutiques on 82nd. And I used to walk to the train a couple of blocks to go to work. This is all I know about JH. And I used to go to the restaurants on Roosevelt Ave. and 82nd.St. I used to love that neighborhood, to me, working in Manhattan all week long, going there after a day's work, and on week-ends, it was like going to a suburb. but we noticed that the neighborhood started to change, and got out. 35th. Ave is already far away from the trains isn't it? What kind of public transportation do you have there? Honestly, I have been keeping an eye on the neighborhood hoping it will change. The problem right now is that I will be afraid to take the trains, or walk by myself on the streets. I wouldn't feel safe, probably because I am a woman I know I have to watch out where I live, I cannot have my husband with me all the time. What I have seen in the trains is very different now than what it used to be. There are a lot of people living there who no one knows who they are.

35th Avenue is 1 block North of 37th Avenue. It's a very residential, safe and middle class area. 37th Avenue is populated with storefronts, restaurants...etc.

The area you used to live in is dense and too populated for my taste. If you Google Map 35th Avenue or 34th Avenue in Jackson Heights and select "Street View", you'll see the type of area it is. It's pretty safe here day and night but at night, like anywhere else, you should keep your guard up and be aware of your surroundings.
