Unique architecture at the intersection of 32nd Ave. & 60th St., Woodside.



Looking west, on left, to the 3 modernistic structures of 58-07/09/11 32nd Avenue while further east, on right, the uniquely ecclesiatically-designed Corpus Christi Roman Catholic Church dominates.
 

Les Trois Mousquetaires?
 

A propos the vicinity of a church: a one-of-a-kind trinity of architectural wonder.
 
Convenient amenities.  Lose your keys? . . .
. . . a can opener may do.
While a half block away, the 1960's era constructed Corpus Christi church peeks up sub terram.  Now you see it; now you don't.

A minimilast religious architectural presence.
Beautifully landscaped.
Paging Quasimodo.  Here's the church.  Where's the steeple?

An aesthetic disaster! The Un-painting and Re-painting of Doughboy Park (Update: May 23, 2013)



Green paint water-washed (?)  off.

.

Then and now.



Paint It Black.



Then and now.



Thirsty?





All else . . .





. . . remains the same.



But, as the sign says, thank you Councilman Van Bramer . . . er, ah, uh, uhm...for what?   The cheap flimsy sign?  The painting fiasco?   Thank you for what?
