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.

Looks like you just had an epiphany!Anytime you need a ride to TJ, just PM me. Like they say at the Men's Warehouse, "You're Gonna Like It!" I prefer going on a weekday. There are some perks to being retired, you see.
I'll also happen to mention it to all the folks in the Forest Hills, Rego Park and Woodhaven areas, so that they won't crowd that parking lot for you.Hey, Chuckster, you'd really do that for me? And here I was thinkin' that chivalry was dead.
I completely agree with this statement. I know I'm not too thrilled of having to take a subway and bus or an even longer bus ride out to the new TJs in Queens. Even driving out there is a chore. There aren't many interesting shops nearby to even make the trip worthwhile for me. To sum it up, it's not the most convenient location. I'll also be continuing my trek to Union Square for now.Whew, Chuckster, I am so glad to hear that. Be sure to tell all your friends, neighbors and relatives not to go there either. That way it won't be so crowded when I go.
A book store of the B&N or Borders variety is a bit of a reach for Jackson Heights at this time. Our nabe suffers from a serious lack of quality and/or brand-name retail stores. We need to help usher in more small-box retailers to 37th ave such as Victoria's Secret, Bath & Body Works, Gap, etc. before we stand a chance to land a big-box store such as Borders.We've got the small-box stores in Astoria, we've even got a few big-box stores (really warehouses) and our Councilperson (Peter Vallone, Jr.) has communicated our need and desire for a bookstore to B&N, and nada. Good luck. We are currently overrun with 99 cent stores, nail salons, banks (of every description) and more ethnic restaurants than there are ethnicities!
