Television production takes a hit in NYC; Queensbridge Houses raided

I hate the filming of shows… they are always blocking off streets in the Hunters Point Historic District to film some TV show or another.

The ‘firehouse’ from the show Rescue Me is on my block, and they film there all the time. Sometimes parking our car is a hassle, but I’ve seen Dennis Leary a number of times, which is kind of fun.

Ironically, it’s only a stones through from Queensbridge. (I don’t live in Queensbridge, but in a house in the area) and the film crew usually parks their trucks and trailers right in front of the projects. It’s really a sight to see the hood turn hollyhood and back again….

#5, somehow I don’t think that people living in QB spend much time posting on blogs. Too busy just trying to stay alive.

queensbridge really isnt as scary as such reports imply. been there a lot during the day and it’s lots of families. neighbors saying hello to each other. and i’m a big fan of the park on the water (this all said by a white female).

Anyone have a lead on a good weed dealer in the ‘hood? I’ve got a feeling my dealer at Queensbridge got pinched.

Yeah, can you post his name and number? Thanks.

i’m the poster who mentioned living near queensbridge. trust me, i’m not in love with the area, (there’s not much around to do) but i have a feeling that most people here assume the worst because it’s only black and hispanic families living there, right?

my husband and i co-own a two-family house here. it’s actually not dangerous, (day or night)–i mean there are obviously issues within the project themselves– but i’ve lived here almost five years and never actually encountered any problems walking around the area. but yes, the black folks like to hang out outside and i guess that’s a little frightening to you, is that what it is?
