Here's a little experiment NNA tried out on 36th Street! A planted tree pit gets more respect in this neighborhood. Try a minimal investment of wire fence from Home Depot plus a few hardy perennial plants and see what happens (or doesn't !) One little neighborhood pit was transformed from sad, dirtly and depressing to happy and planted with much less litter and less doggie leave behinds. We can make our streets more beautiful. Try this experiment on your street and send us a photo and report to post.

Capital Improvements in Astoria: Road!

There was big action on 30th Avenue at 7:30 AM. Impressive road crews had all the heavy machinery out tearing up the old, cracked asphalt and shooting it into one of many ready to haul away dump trucks. The newly scraped road is prep for capital improvement by way of fresh asphalt. Astoria will look great!
