Jen,

Your pictures are great. They brought back many memories. Back when we were in college, Rosie and I used to frequent the Ravenswood/Astoria area alot. In fact we bowled at Astoria lanes and Steinway lanes. The area in your photos was known as the 'Orchestra'. It was a favorite lover's lane (make-out) parking spot at the time. There was another one directly under the Triboro bridge at a higher level. It was known as the 'Balcony'. Back around 1964-1965 there was a little hydrofoil ferry that used to run in the East River, right by the area where you're parked. It went from lower Manhattan to the World's Fair in Flushing. Every time it came by it sounded like a jet plane.

See you at Reading.
