What happened to the Greek population in Astoria? I haven't been there in about 6yrs.
Greeks still own most of the real estate (and are doing quite well due to the increase rents in the area), but have either moved back to Greece (the elder generation) or to Whitestone, Bayside or the North Shore of Nassau County. The nabe is still around 20% Greek (at its peak in the late 70s./early 80s, it was about 50%).
