Jackson Heights Life

Hello Folks-

I'm new to Jackson Heights and love the historic architecture surrounding us. As we all know,  Jackson Heights is the best example  of the garden apartment movement in the U.S., so I wanted to create a blog where potential members like you would contribute photos of buildings and architectural elements from your camera phone as you walk around.  The purpose of the blog is to create an architectural and visual presence of Jackson Heights on the web. Let me know if you are interested in contributing photos  and if you have any ideas to make the blog more interesting... More info on the blog to come ( I am still in the process of launching it).

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback-

And yes, I am in touch with Dan Karatzas and I did finish reading his informative book!  I also came across  the Columbia University website with all the building brochures of the various garden apartments- amazing stuff. I'd like to see this blog span the modern times and document through people's cameras the buildings, interior lobbies, interior private gardens, street scape scenes and interior spaces. The blog would document how people adapt these historical spaces in "modern times".  It's an interactive blog where people can easily post their photos, add blurbs, and categorize their photos into various sections: garden apartments, garden homes, interior court yards, public parks or commercial spaces. We  could begin to start an online  dialogue on the spaces and buildings we love around the neighborhood.  I'll post a link in this thread as soon as I've launched the site.
