THE TURNPIKES OF LONG ISLAND CITY!
“Hunter’s Point, Newtown & Flushing Turnpike Road Company” aka Northern Blvd. (1858)
There was a time when it was the whims of nature that dictate our course over terrain – a bubbly brook, the slope of a hill, a thicket of thorns made us pawns of topography. So we invented the turnpike, straight lines across a landscape that saves us time and effort.
February 8 at 7:00 pm
RSVP by 5:30 pm by Monday, 02/08/2021 with the subject-line “TURNPIKE” to info@astorialic.org .
