This sadly means I'll be stepping back from covering Astoria and Long Island City, but the neighborhood will be left in the very capable hands of @nick_garber!

Both @AdrienneToYou and @ericadamsfornyc went to Bayside High School at the same time. A jaunt through the archives shows a very active Adrienne, haven't found Eric yet ... As a sophomore, Adrienne was captain of the boosters, part of the chorus, member of the G.O...

"My guess is that the landlord did not renew any leases because they will probably build an apartment building in that location," one neighbor told Patch in April. https://t.co/H89X9as6By

A 6-story, 92-unit apartment complex is slated to be built on the corner of Broadway and 29th Street — where Sac's Place was once located.

As for why the raccoon might have been trying to sneak through the turnstile in the first place, Sunny Corrao of @nycparks joked: "It's super easy to lose your MetroCard when you don't have pockets." https://t.co/adiAXioQ5U

MTA officials said they removed the raccoon from the station last week, but on Wednesday it was seen trying to wiggle through a turnstile.

I was born & raised in Brooklyn. I'm the daughter of Bangladeshi Muslim immigrants, a Lupus survivor, & an activist. I'm humbled to be the first Muslim woman elected to the New York City Council and the first woman to represent my district. WE DID IT 😭✊🏽 https://t.co/XjuSiPkOxF

In New York City, a global beacon that draws a diverse population from all over the world, the City Council has never had a Muslim woman — or a person of South Asian descent among its membership.

Linda Lee would be "humbled" to be the first woman to represent District 23 but she wants people to know she earned the role.

In March, the MTA lauded the station's ADA-compliant entrance — which was built by developers — as a "great example" of private-public partnership. Now, the station's elevator is closed for repairs, and the MTA doesn't know exactly when it will reopen. https://t.co/j3vlcKi0mg
