Greater Astoria Historical Society

Turns out the president of the Greater Astoria Historical Society is a doorman in Manhattan who bikes to work. There's a story about him in the Times.

Being a night-owl myself, I like his line that, "You’ve got to embrace the night."

Why do I mention this? Because it's Astoria. And he bikes to work.

Bikes and Books

All right it's not about bikes. But it is about Astoria and books.

I wish I loved Seaburn Books, our neighborhood book store. And I'm not the only one who's got an issue... or two. Here a petition to get them to alphabetize their books. I recommend you sign it.

Astoria Bike strongly advises against reading while your ride ...but it would be really cool if you did.

Huffy Astoria

Who would have thought there was as Astoria Beach Bike? And from the top quality bike maker in the world: Huffy. I'll just find me a beach around here and be all set.
