Greetings, JH Lifers. Just in case you missed it, this website will be closing down on December 31st. It's been a great journey, but it is time for this site to walk off into the sunset (or whatever lies on the other side of the BQE). Please see our recent announcement for more information.
Hopefully this is just the beginning of a new chapter in efforts to build community online and in real life. Come join your neighbors at r/jacksonheights or r/queens on Reddit, Jackson Heights 11372 on Facebook, and the venerable JHfamilies group on Google.

The arched entrance to the upper floor of English Gables will be restored by the building owner. I was at the Community Board Landmarks meeting when a representative of the owner came with his proposal. It was certainly welcomed by those in attendance, and will be by the public at large when the work is completed. I believe the medical facility that vacated 82-11 37 Avenue will be located on the second floor of this building.Thanks so much for this info, jhlifer! I've been wondering about this issue ever since that space was vacated.
Believe me, if I could afford a $900K apartment in Park Slope, I would move in a minute and “celebrate diversity†with all the other white liberals there. If I was truly wealthy, I’d move to Park Avenue and “celebrate diversity†with Leonard Bernstein and his crowd as portrayed in Tom Wolfe’s New York magazine article “Radical Chicâ€.
They have been working on this for over a week, does anyone know whats going in here?
We can perhaps take comfort that JH is not mentioned in this article.
The golf club was long gone before WW2. The Queensboro Corp. went bankrupt in 1929.
I think the changes I have recently seen are a good thing. The seesaw is on the way up.
Two people come out against gentrification and suddenly it's "bigotry"? Lets face it, if there really were bigotry towards young professionals, we wouldn't be having this conversation because you wouldn't see them moving into the neighborhood.If you are responding to my post, upon reading certain other posts on this board, you will find expressions of hostility toward a certain group of people, popularly called "yuppies", who apparently include all those who wear khakis. That is the type of bigotry to which I was referring.
Exactly. When did bashing young, white americans become so damn popular? it's so annoying. And bull----!
Yeah I call that a diner...which is an Eastern term for a coffee shop.
Can we just replace the American coffeeshop with "Starbucks/Peet's/Caribou/Seattle's Best/Independent coffee serving place like that."There's a problem with terminology here. Jahn's is a coffee shop; Starbucks and Espresso 77 are coffee houses.
