How overcrowded is Astoria going to be in a few years? If you think the trains are bad now… Seems like every week there’s a post about a high-rise going up. It’s insane what this neighborhood has become.

You are correct! Once upon a time people that wanted a small town feeling without all the hustle and bustle that is Manhattan headed to places like Astoria . Now Astoria is becoming an extension of Manhattan. With that means increase in crime, garbage, pollution , more crowded subway lines, traffic, parking problems and so on. So now we that have put roots long ago have to put up with this? NO! It’s sad, but we will be forced to move away.

Silvercup Studios partners with local schools to foster next-generation filmmakers in Queens

Long before it was one of the fastest growing neighborhoods in the nation, Long Island City was an industrial town along the polluted East River, where generations recall the only good smell emanated from the Gordon Baking Company producing the Silvercup brand of bread.

After it was shuttered in a bitter labor dispute in the mid-70s, nearby factory owner Harry Suna of Kew Gardens purchased the property at 42-25 21 St. in 1980, and his architect sons Stuart and Alan began drawing up the plans to repurpose the property into Silvercup Studios, which launched in 1983 and rapidly became one of New York City’s largest film and production facilities, with nearly a half million square feet of studio space and 19 sound stages.

There is no doubt these are very challenging times for Astoria businesses. The cost of many essentials, such as spare parts and food products, has increased. Conversely, labor costs, labor shortages, energy bills, and property insurance have skyrocketed. Some businesses, such as Retro on Broadway, lost their leases. Others, including Chez Olivia and Trattoria L’incontro, decided to move out of Astoria altogether. A few longtime owners decided to retire.
