{"product_id":"long-island-city-the-greater-astoria-historical-society-9781531621544","title":"Long Island City","description":"Long Island City captures the unique flavor of a former city (1870-1898) nestled between Manhattan and Queens that retains its identity to this day. Created by consolidating Old Astoria Village, Steinway, Ravenswood, Dutch Kills, Blissville, Sunnyside, and the Long Island Rail Road terminal in Hunters Point, it has been an industrial dynamo since the Civil War. It is home to creative people and innovative ideas, the Steinway piano factory, the movie industry, the Information Age, and a growing list of museums and galleries. Minutes from midtown Manhattan, it is again a magnet for new generations seeking the charms of a small town with the advantages of a great city.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e The Greater Astoria Historical Society, Thomas Jackson, Richard Melnick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531621546\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531621544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"The Greater Astoria Historical Society","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43986925617407,"sku":"9781531621544","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eb2662e3-a86c-4240-a2de-8d1adfc19221.jpg?v=1683285972","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/long-island-city-the-greater-astoria-historical-society-9781531621544","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
