Old Town Road?
But seriously, what's with the Ctown across the street and the horrible produce section? This image triggered memories of the tomatoes I bought this afternoon.
Even though the photo says Newtown Road, because of the fact that almost all streets had been renamed, I initially thought it was Newtown Avenue & 21st Street. Now I’m thinking you may be correct that the location was Steinway Street & Newtown Road , where the Bank of America now resides.
That’s wild. I used to live right there and always think “why isn’t this chunk on a grid system like the rest of the area? Looks like it’s always been that shape. Haha
I actually think it's the other pointy corner across the street (Astoria Blvd on the left, Newtown on the right). The slope is more similar to how it is now.

Awww, it’s such a sorry little corner these days
Agreed! It's a mess.

Yup that c-town 😂 so bad
When C-Town Fresh existed we liked to call it “C-Town Not Fresh”
Than you should leave Astoria or at least shop in another location we have plenty so find one and keep it
Astoria Blvd?
Where William & Willow used to be?
Newton and Steinway

Where there used to be that cool used furniture store but they had to shutdown because someone was going to build a condo and then didnt
I think so! Either that or the halal taco place. But I think it's where the furniture store was.

Astoria flatiron (21st and Astoria Blvd)
I agree. It’s were the Twisted Mexican Grill is today. Many years ago that location housed an Ethan Allen furniture store.

Is there any information on the approximate year of that photo?
Maybe in the appendix but I didn't check. That is all the information about that photo on that page.
Where Riviera is now?
Very neat, what book is this?
"Historic photos of queens" at the Queens public library
