What does Archie Bunker's (TV Show "All in the Family") neighborhood look like today?

I saw what looked like lots of Hip clubs and bars and alot of yuppie looking people walking around. I guess I was wrong. Hearing that it is not yuppified actually makes me very happy. At the height of the hipster era i was hoping Astoria would last.

I am not saying that there are not a few yuppies. I qualify on that count. But I am definitely outnumbered by the Italian grannies.

There are definitely more Greek restaurants around than trendy clubs, more dollar stores than boutiques, and a lot of those neighborhood ethnic clubs as well.

depends on what part of astoria you're in.....steinway street looks more like jamaica avenue....no hipsters over there.

It's an ongoing process, when all the older people, die off slowly, it will become more and more yuppified. It's hard to say it, but this is what happens.

Uh.. to get back on topic, Archie Bunker's house was originally in Glendale, Queens (East of Ridgewood, South of Middle Village). The area nowadays? Still a crapload of cemeteries, very low-density housing(probably due to its isolation from the rest of the city), mainly German/Irish/Polish and other West European immigrants plus some newly immigrated South Americans and Asians.
