I lived on 69th Steet (formerly Juniper Avenue) about half-way brtwwen Grand Avenue to the North & Metropolitan Avenue to the South for almost 30 years. I often ate in the Junpier Diner as a teen-ager. They made the best Salisbury steak! I also worked in the Maspeth Theatre in 1948-49.

TWO GREAT PIX !!!
I can’t count the number of times I walked under the Maspeth Movie marquee. I lived on 69th Street for 30 years and worked in the theatre in 1948-49. The trolley car is part of the Flushing-Ridgerwood Trolley Line.
The 2nd pix is the corner of Austin Street & Continental Avenue in Forest Hills, Queens. I lived on Ascan Avenue near Austin Street for 4 years in the late 1990s.
What memories these pox bring!
Well, Warren, you have shut down the communication valves with your Jan.23, 2009 message. Maybe we should open up this “page” to more far-reaching subjects and still keep it within Maspeth. I suggest the trolley car-barns that were located at 69th Street, Brown Place, and Grand Avenue, only a block away from the theatre. Anyone care to respond?

Thanx, Warren -
I will look at the site you suggest. I’m still learning.
The Juniper Diner was 1 block from the Maspeth Theatre and I thought they could be considered on the same site as the thaetre.
