I know where that is. Queens Blvd near the LIE. The anchor store was originally a Macy’s. That area was pretty much rural when that house was built, before the subway was constructed. It was eventually knocked down.
Yup, that’s my old neighborhood. I walked by that house many times going to or from school and church. This was BEFORE Macys was built. The store was forced to build a notch in its eide to avoid the homeowner’s airspace.
