Queensbridge Houses, completed in 1939, is central to LIC's social history. Neighborhood history must center the people who call a place home. #DutchKills #LIC #LongIslandCity #Queens #NYC #QueensbridgeHouses

Midday scene from the window of a subway car on elevated tracks as it meanders under a sunny blue sky in a growing City, facing back towards the City borough from which we have just come; the ninety-degree curve in the tracks offers a prespective looking back along the same elevated track as it scissors into a busy automobile bridge and dives under a deep river leading underground, beneath the skyscrapers and supertall buildings forming a famous skyline in the horizon; in the foreground, this area of the borough — once all industrial and warehouse space — continues to undergo rapid and dramatic gentrification and has become a hotspot for wealthy, young, urban professionals; trees lining the traffic-jammed streets below are also quickly changing into their autumn colours.
