As the Roaring 20s gave way to the Great Depression, there was hardly a pause in the borough of Queens, as it transitioned from rural retreat to a land of paved city streets. It was a time when decaying Victorians, tidy truck farms, tract housing, planned communities, and ribbons of 20th century parkways mixed together in a wonderful mélange. Bob Singleton of the Greater Astoria Historical Society will draw upon the society’s archives and their best-selling book “Images of America: Forgotten Queens,” to examine a dynamic chapter of this borough.
