78th Ave
"To The Beach"
Although Woodhaven Blvd in Queens is a major thoroughfare for the neighborhood it was always our way to Rockaway Beach.
Summertime finds buses and cars heading to the end of Woodhaven Blvd and entering the beach area. Although it was some time ago the memories of this area are still filled with fun. There were rides and the boardwalk and you always met someone you knew laying around in the sand.
The Boulevard itself is lined with homes and businesses and you really have no need to leave the area - except if you work elsewhere!!!

Steinway St
"A Mini City"
Steinway Street in Astoria Queens is a mini city within a city. The shopping is very diversified and you can eat your way to heaven just walking down the street.
Such diversity lends itself to the desires of just about everyone. Kids and parents alike love to shop along this strip of shops and food.
Parking may be a bit of a hassle, but take the bus and walk freely - it'll be a day of sheer enjoyment!!

Queens Blvd
"A surprise amidst the Courts"
This area was the Judicial District of Queens and nestled quietly was the BEST deli for pastrami I have ever had!! Pastrami King was an awesome treat any day of the week. - I think this deli could have been the reason why I became I legal secretary - any chance to go to the Courthouse and run across the street for a pastrami sandwich!! lol
Kew Gardens was always an upscale neighborhood even though the Courthouse was the main attraction. Many little neighborhoods were nestled in the streets of the Queens area.

Greenpoint Ave
"Shopping Shopping & Food!!!"
This was the place to go to get the best Pizza while shopping all the shops along the street. Two main Pizza places and both were awesome. I can only hope that both have survived the times as I haven't been there in awhile.
I remember walking in to both places and the aroma would make you hungry even if you just finished a meal!!
The stores along the street were quaint shops - great shopping before the days of the Big Box! Wal-Mart? never heard of such a store back then!! But the sales staff knew you by name and knew what you liked and even put things on the side for you for your next visit! Now that's what I call customer service!!

"When life was good"
Growing up on this street provided my brothers and myself freedom to go out and play everyday. Our friends were all within a block of each other and our school was close.
We had a PAL Street (Police Athletic League) and it was closed during the summer during the day to through traffic. We had arts and crafts, sports and can't forget our swimming pool - when the hydrant was opened and we could play in the sprinklers!!
It was a great way to grow up and I can only hope that atmosphere is still abounding.
