I’bve seen no activitity here as of 5/1/10. If the new business intends to be open by June, they’d better get a move on! Am I wrong in believing that new building projects in Sunnyside take longer than anywhere else in Queens? A new pizza/gyro eatery on SE corner of 40th Street and QB has been under construction for at least six months, with no opening date announced. And work is just beginning after about five years of promises by Key Food that the plot between QB and Greenpoint Avenue on east side of 46th Street would be modernized. A new building is going up that will be four stories high, with the supermarket on the ground floor, and offices and rental apartments above, according to the maket’s manager.

Most of these premises were originally an art-moderne cinema called Century’s 43rd Street. It’s a pity that it couldn’t be operated as a theatre again. It would make a perfect home for the Thalia Spanish Theatre, which currently uses converted retail space on Greenpoint Avenue adjacent to Foodtown.

I’m really looking forward to seeing what type of “gourmet shop” opens up in that spot 🙂

Twenty people indicted in Queens-based $4.6M vehicle theft ring after three-year probe: DA

Twenty individuals were indicted and variously charged in a wide-ranging scheme to steal cars in Queens, throughout New York City and its suburbs, following a three-year investigation by the Queens District Attorney’s Office, the NYPD, and the New York State Police dubbed “Operation Hellcat,” into the criminal enterprise based in Queens.

Some of the vehicles were stolen from owners’ driveways, some with the keys or key fobs inside. The stolen vehicles were often sold through advertisements on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. The defendants are charged in nine separate indictments for a total of 373 counts, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced on Thursday.
