Feeling LIC's Heat, Part I: All Hail Duane Reade

2008_2_lic.jpgWe can't deny the perfect storm of Long Island City tips, photos and information that have trickled in over the past couple of days. Folks, we are officially feeling Long Island City's heat. Today we'll be looking at a number of these stories, including this first one, a screed submitted by a reader just this morning. Is it shilly? Hilariously so, but who doesn't love the retail-as-neighborhood-savior debate? Away we go:

I am amazed how far Long Island City has grown and evolved over the past year. As all the new buildings are going up, the retail has been growing as well. We all know a vibrant retail district that includes ample restaurants will dramatically improve the value and sales of new homes and condos. With this I am excited to see that Delta Force Army Navy, one of the last great Army Navy stores in the United States, has opened its flagship store in Long Island City.

Wait, what? Uh, it continues. >>
