I thought in 1990 that the building's days were numbered. But proud and stubborn buildings don't go away quietly.<br /><br />The meat processing industry, like so many in NYC, used to be significant. My father worked in it for over 40 years. The first two companies he worked for are long defunct, the last one amazingly still survives in Jamaica Queens.But over the years they had been pushed furthe and further east by "progress".Lisanne!https://www.blogger.com/profile/15979847571313065186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-24314861478287038542011-12-15T00:05:39.067-05:002011-12-15T00:05:39.067-05:00I moved from Queens (Jamaica Hills)to the burbs in...I moved from Queens (Jamaica Hills)to the burbs in 1993.<br /><br />Since then my grandfather's home (approx. built in 1920) was demolished replaced by a tacky building. At the corner of 165th Street and Chapin Parkway.

Which the average person couldn't possible detect from its appearance. So while that argument was lame, its height will change the feel of this corner and make it feel more confined and less airy and open. Too bad that this tall tower will be going up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-25240443849663954672011-12-14T12:18:22.305-05:002011-12-14T12:18:22.305-05:00How much is that Yunnie in the window?How much is that Yunnie in the window?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-50310240502500783472011-12-14T09:42:31.137-05:002011-12-14T09:42:31.137-05:00Always loved your coverage of this vanishing gem. ...Always loved your coverage of this vanishing gem.
