Middle of Nowhere, Queens

Continuing my walk across Nowhere, some sights from 58th St. as it runs north out of Maspeth in Queens.

First up, on the right, an inscrutable security system on a building in deserted (weekend) Maspeth.


Above left, a scene out of any flat place in the U.S. (though I believe that is the backside of beleaguered St. Saviour's over there).  Across the tracks, above right, the backside of the Clinton Diner, looking greasy enough to give Bill pause.


Above left, the mysterious cap on the Petro building.  On the right, just down the block, an equally cryptic antenna complex.

To the right, the sad view of Mt. Zion Cemetery nearly squashed under the Long Island Expressway.

The monuments below are in Mt. Zion; the one on the left was "erected in memory of the victims of the town of Bobrka, Galicia slain by the barbarian hordes of Nazi Germany during World War II."
