Thanks for the heads up. I'm in queens, not in Astoria but these things happen all over. You always have to look around when you get into your car or even walk to the train, etc.

YOu always watch your surrondings. thanks for that.

are you serious! I'm out there all the time for field work and FH & I are out there all the time b/c we like the restaurants....no where is safe ladies...keep your eyes open!



you think thats bad, my fh lives on 42nd



omg sweetie, be careful! Try to avoid at night if you can or bring pepper spray (i'm usually law abiding but ***!!) I HATE commercial areas like that (if it's the area i'm thinking about) b/c of this exact reason. They are so empty late afternoon/evening that it makes me soooo nervous!!



Well they just said it was 26th street in astoria not 42nd but still.

Its all the way at the end, you will even hit a dead end, its like 19th avenue. Its not really commercial bc its all companies such as Steinway & sons, chock full o nuts, krispy kreme factory. Its not businesses where people actually walk around to go to...Its where they make things and not a walk in business so thats why its even worse bc around there thats all there is so at night you dont want to be there alone.

I always am careful...It just S*cks because i grew up in astoria and honestly you always felt safe. I lived right by ditmars boulevard and there were always lots of people around no matter what time it was. But just in general you didn't really have to worry so thats why it makes me sad

You're right. You're supposed to feel safe in your neighbourhood and not worry about anything but when you see things like this happening it makes you think twice.

This lady was one of the brave ones. Theere are hundreds of rapes that go on every day that are unreported because the women are scared and embrassed. There are crazy people out there and you never know what could happen.

Girls - always pay attention to your surroundings- no matter how safe you think it is and how bright it is outside.

I always have my mace in hand if I'm walking alone at night (which is rare, I always try to use the buddy system)
