I’ve documented the Q54 bus before, which runs from Ridgewood all the way to Downtown Flushing.

Ridgewood, Middle Village, Maspeth, Elmhurst, Corona, and Flushing are all so different.
These rowhouses in Ridgewood are very typical of the area, which is full of such gorgeous (and well-preserved) architecture.
