Finally… A real book store in Astoria! Astoria Bookshop will be opening its doors at 31-27 31st Street. I can’t wait. For those who don’t know, Astoria had a bookstore until 2011. But Seaburn Books was a horrible bookstore (not withstanding the fact that Sam, the owner, is a swell guy). There was very little…

Our fucking local community board (#1) sucks ass. The latest stupidity (just the latest) is denying a request from Queens Kickshaw (40-17 Broadway) to provide bike parking in front of their store.
