Just kidding. I love Orchard Beach. But it does remind me of when I first got married. We lived in an Astoria apartment for almost two years before buying our home in Throggs Neck.
For two summers we were at the Astoria Park Pool almost every weekend. It's not that it was unsanitary, just VERY, VERY crowded. So you were always a little leery of cooties.
