Corner of Booth Street and 63rd Drive
A sporting goods store named Harley's
was at this location decades ago
I have certainly written a lot about Rego Park in this Journal. After my dentist appointment today, I decided to take another walking tour as I have done several times in the past. Obviously, nothing in this world stays the same. Many retail establishments have come and gone over the decades. Some observations:
- The site of the Tower Diner on Queens Blvd. was demolished. The site of the Trylon Theater next to it which is now a synagogue is also slated to be demolished.
- Parkside Chapels at 66th Road and Queens Blvd. was also demolished.
- The Shalimar Diner on 63rd Drive was also demolished.
I believe in all three cases there will be high-rise apartment buildings constructed.
In any event, everyone I knew in Rego Park has either moved away or passed on.
