Thank you,I too was going to correct that also.
I grew up in LIC, and as a kid I was told that we lived on the wrong side of Broadway and the wrong side of 21st ST.
Nowadays people who live in the new LIC, do not know what is past the 59th St Bridge, and consider that Astoria.
I went to public school,PS 83, on Vernon Blvd, in an old(1885) coal burning building.
When I was a kid we lived in LIC on Crescent St. a few blocks north of Queens Plaza and later lived in Astoria on Crescent St a few blocks south of the Triboro. I never understood what the dividing line was just that as you traveled north on Crescent, which runs parallel to 21st St, you left LIC and entered Astoria. The best I could figure was the designation changed around 36th Ave. Broadway was definitely Astoria.
