History Around the Corner

I take pleasure from mundanities. I like where I live. For the first time out of anywhere I’ve lived, I can walk down to a body of water, at Virginia Point at the north end of Little Neck Parkway, though I have to brush away lots of weeds and branches to get there. And, though the Scobee Diner, which served as my website Forgotten New York’s home away from home, closed in 2010, there’s no shortage of nearby diners arrayed on Northern Blvd. like the North Shore, Bayside and Landmark. I can walk 10 minutes to a genuinely historic site.
