LIC, How Far It’s Come…

LIC to Palm Beach?Hello, it’s Monday.

This weekend I was in Manhattan (walking around Tudor City, a beautiful old development) and saw LIC from across the river. It’s incredible to see all the tall buildings, with more on the way (you can see new development in the distance in the picture). All those high-rise condos give it a Palm Beach kind of feel. Of course, it hasn’t been that way forever.  A long-time resident describes the area as it used to be, over on the QueensWest board:

I moved here 20 years ago, before there were ANY condos or co-ops, there was no goat cheese, no hummus, no tapas, no thai, no lattes, no bike shop or pet shop, no ATM. The riverfront was a massive trash heap with tons of junked cars and rats. Friends in Manhattan gasped. What WAS the attraction? Blue skies overhead, the promise of seeing the lower half of the skyline ‘in a few years’(and it happened!), my neighbor watching out for my car, giving me basil from her garden, another offering fresh figs from the tree in his yard, calamari at Manducati’s, karaoke night hosted by Spike at the Vernon Cafe was better than the Soprano’s and it was REAL, being less 5 minutes from midtown…then watching people trickle in and figure out that THIS side of the river is where it’s AT.

LIC will continue to grow, whether one likes it or not; it’s been moving forward for years now. It is a great community and has a lot to offer. I wonder if Willets Point, the next new hot spot, will grow high-rise condos like that. Also, having walked around Tudor City, which was a huge development of its time (something like 3,000 units), I marvelled at how beautiful it was - will future people look onto these big buildings in LIC and feel similarly?
