{"product_id":"long-island-city-images-of-america","title":"Long Island City (Images of America)","description":"Long Island City captures the unique flavor of a former city (1870-1898) nestled between Manhattan and Queens that retains its unique identity to this day.\nCreated 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\u003eASIN: 0738536660\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0738536660.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Greater Astoria Historical Society|Melnick, Richard|Jackson, Thomas\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43256509202493,"sku":"BVV.0738536660.VG","price":14.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/0738536660-0.jpg?v=1780782695","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/long-island-city-images-of-america","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
