Tonight, Neirs Tavern hosted a Queens history night featuring Jason D. Antos’s Queens: Then & Now, a fascinating powerpoint presentation with archival photos of Queens juxtaposed to the same perspectives today. To quote Antos, “it was an evening of incredible photos of local history, beer and yes…wings!” Antos chose a great historic location since, as Antos says:
Neirs is one of the oldest continuously used bars in New York City and has been in operation since 1834! It is a Woodhaven landmark best remembered for its setting in Goodfellas!
It was a truly enjoyable and informative evening. Thanks Jason for inviting me!

Queens Native Captures Ghost Ads On Film | www.qgazette.com | Queens Gazette
Queens native Frank Jump has been photographing the fleeting images of “ghost ads” around the five boroughs for years.
In a city which is eternally evolving, the new is perpetually being built on the debris of the past. But a movement to preserve the city’s vanishing landscapes has emerged. For more than 20 years, Jump has been documenting the fading ads that are visible, but less often seen, all over New York City. Disappearing from the sides of buildings or hidden by new construction, these signs are remnants of lost eras of New York’s consumer history.
These gorgeous images captured on color film have now been compiled into an authoritative tome on the subject entitled, Fading Ads Of New York City (History Press). – J.Antos, Queens Gazette
