Break-ins alert in Astoria.
- Our City Council Member’s office notified
us WhyLeaveAstoria that several burglaries have been reported in Astoria over the last couple of weeks. In February, 50 burglaries were reported in Astoria—mostly apartments where the perps climbed in through fire escapes.
Today, another alert has been issued specifically for the area between 23rd Ave to 20th Ave from Crescent to 31st Street. It’s believed that two unidentified men are approaching properties during the day through common driveways and entering houses through rear entrances (windows, back doors). (via WLA)

Reasons Why I Love Astoria #1
careyanne:
While walking the dog on the first sunny - Springish day of the year, I passed two old Greek men doing jumping jacks on the street.
That sounds like a military scene, but it was more like one man was teaching the other to do jumping jacks. At first he could only do the hands then he could only do the legs. My walk didn’t let me see if he was able to put the motions all together. I’m thinking ‘yes’ since he had such a passionate teacher.
