August 3, 2006: Katt Auto Repair
As a Brooklyn kid, I generally avoid Queens like the plague. It feels like another city to me-- like Philadelphia or Poughkeepsie. Still, my bike rides do sometimes take me into Queens, often just to get back into Manhattan from Greenpoint by way of the Pulaski and 59th Street Bridge. This time I veered off that path slightly and explored the edge of Long Island City near Court Square. It was a lonely, sad little neighborhood, but I found this little car repair place charming.
