Jackson Heights Life

So interesting that a place like this could survive on so few items. Remember the shop that sold bubble tea? I'm all for it, but how can that be enough to sustain a storefront business I wonder? I love rice pudding, but currently I'm dairy free--but maybe they do a non-dairy option.

The store looks great and a nice addition to the avenue.  I agree, I don't see how a store can pay rent offering only a few items.  We will have to wait and see if their business model works in JH.

November 16th Donovan's posted on their Facebook page about Thanksgiving meals for $14.95.

Turkey, turkey stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, choice of mashed potatoes or turnips, choice of string beans or corn.

I have not seen any place that is cheaper.

Do we know what is going in?  A Shake Shack would be nice.

The BQE underpass at 35th avenue has a sign from a NYC agency that states they will be removing belonging left.  In the 2 months since it was pressure washed, it still seems rather clean except for the bird droppings. 

The homeless population has moved from the underpass to private properties in the lower 70's.  Tuesday night I had 3 individuals drinking, smoking and passing out on my front steps.  Saturday night I had a homeless man sleeping on a mattress in my neighbors parking spot and peeing in my garden.  By the time police came the guy had left.

Today the NYCDS came with 2 big trucks and cleaned the graffiti off of the tile under the BQE underpass on 35th ave.  I was hoping they would have cleaned the garbage and pressure washed the sidewalk and also cleaned the markings by the dog park. 

I sure hope once Farine opens the boxes of fruit which now are in front of it get moved. 

Hello,

As a resident who lives in the low 70's it is always a pleasure to see the pristine condition that Windsor is kept.  This has changed since work is being done on the building and a scaffold is up.

Does anyone know what type of work is taking place?  I sure hope they don't do anything that changes the appearance of the grounds and building. 

The BQE underpass on 35th avenue is filled with garbage.  You can't even walk through without stepping on garbage.  Also mattresses along with other items block the pathway.

Also around the BQE at the 65th St subway station...

There's a homeless encampment and trash is everywhere.

Actually, talking about trash, our resident bagman has annexed a bench outside Food Dynasty and filled it sky high with garbage...

Apparently, he has an apartment somewhere in the neighborhood...perhaps he could be persuaded  to keep his trash treasure there? Tho I pity his neighbors.

This is all definitely a health hazard.
