And some cupcake place from Williamsburg opened up a second location in Atlas Park.
Atlas is too far out from the hip places for it to become a destination for that crowd... They tried to make Atlas into an upper class mall when it first opened and it tanked. It's only now that they began opening stores similar to Queens Center that the Mall has seen a boost in revenue. I don't understand the obsession with trying to turn every neighborhood including safe middle class ones into a carbon copy of urban Williamsburg...

No obsession, just stating facts that LIC Flea moved to Atlas Park, as well as a cupcake place from Williamsburg. I don't know what else to tell you, they moved there already. Much of the reason these type of establishments are moving to Glendale probably has to do with the large film production company Broadway Stages and microbrewery Finbacks recently setting up shop in Glendale. But this migration is nothing new, historically many from Williamsburg, Greenpoint and Bushwick have eventually moved on to Ridgewood, Glendale, Middle Village and Maspeth over the years. Whether Germans, Italians, Polish, or Puerto Ricans, and now the "hip."

I wasn't saying you had an obsession, I'm saying that the powers that be seem to have an obsession with turning perfectly stable working middle class areas into something they don't need to be. If you want to transform a former industrial/run down area, that's great. We can use that. But for a neighborhood like Glendale that has always been a great community, why mess with it at all? Don't we have enough neighborhoods that seem to follow the same pattern...
LICFlea had an Oktoberfest at Atlas last month. If it wasn't a success they wouldn't be moving there for the winter. I've seen very few hipster types moving into Glendale. They stay at the western edge due to transit. Seems like the Serbs are the fastest growing residents here.

I think most of the crowd going to LIC Flea in Glendale are local natives from Forest Hills. Sometimes it can be difficult to differentiate between a Williamsburg transplant and a Forest Hills native. Then you'll also have the Ridgewood transplants spilling over into Glendale for these type of events.

Glendale is quickly becoming what Greenpoint use to be, with many Poles moving in. Ridgewood is getting the hipster invasion, with some leftovers moving into Glendale.
