AROUND QUEENS

What was once St. John's Hospital, Queens Boulevard, across from
Queens Center Mall

Macy's, part of Queens Center Mall.

The green pointed roof is now a Capital One Bank. Originally was the
Jamaica Savings Bank. The shape of the building is said to represent a
bird in flight. (Update 2013 - Capital One Bank closed this branch.)
(Update 2020 - Now a Bank of America branch.)

Queens Place Mall. Was once ONLY Macy's; later Sterns. Update 4/2013 - Daffy's no
longer part of mall due to bankruptcy. Update 6/23/20 - Outback, Avenue and other
stores no longer part of mall.

The Rock Church. For many years,
this was the Elmwood Theater.
