No. 7 train will grace these tracks again this weekend, LIC

We have never used the word ‘woohoo’ in a title, but in this case, it probably doesn’t even do the news justice. It seems that our friends over at the MTA (yes, now they’re our friends) have finished the 7 train repairs three weekends ahead of schedule, and Long Island City’s precious chariot will operate on its regular weekend schedule, starting this coming weekend. That deserves another woohoo »

I found this video buried in a LICNYC forum. Great personal short about what kind of hood LIC is, including a few profiles of local business owners and residents. Visually focused on the Hunters Point section, especially Vernon/Jackson & Courthouse Square. Interviewed are the purveyors of Communitea & Mario’s Deli, both located on Vernon Blvd.

The actual video is from this great site featuring short videos of various NYC neighborhoods. Interesting that LIC represents Queens, but I guess to the rest of the world, that seems to be the general consensus. It’s NOT true of course, Queens is so much more than LIC – in fact, LIC is a bit of an anomaly in the mix of neighborhoods.
