The projects are well below West Side Ave, that said it makes no difference as the hooligans are back & forth from the projects to Westside all day & night.
The last time I drove down Duncan to go to 440 to head out to the Charlotte circle I DID NOT stay stopped at the light there...looked both ways and took off...a ticket would have been much cheaper then my life
Sad as I remember back in the late 60's running up to the corner of Westside & Duncan at 10 pm to get my Dad the Daily News sold on the corner by newsboys and then going around the corner to the Bagel place to get some fresh bagels for breakfast.
Never once worrying about my safety
The projects are right off of rte 440 and Duncan.
No offense, but mapquest all you want...it is a bad area.
are those the projects on the northbound side of 440, across from the driving range (well, if it's still there)? if so, i was driving on 440 right around there, and some a'hole kid threw a rock at my car from the overpass - luckily it missed. not a good area.

yes that's them...all though they are in the process of being torn down...long over due IMO
Necro, The projects are three small blocks from West Side Avenue and believe me they are small as the overflow from the projects walk back and forth on Duncan Avenue as the projects are at the end of Duncan. There are many good people that live there and there are many not to good people living there. Crime is rampant. Lincoln Park is maybe 700 feet west of Duncan and West Side Avenue
across from the driving range (well, if it's still there)?
Off the topic for a moment...
The Driving Range?!?!?!
I used to play on the pitch and putt 9 hole golf course there. One day I hit a ball off of the fifth tee and it sailed over towards the swampy area that was at the end of the course. When I walked over to find the ball I saw rats. HUGE rats. Rottweiler-size rats.
rough area, i used to go to saint peters college and i lived off of storms ave. that corner of duncan and westside is notorious for stick up kids...they used to rob students and just about anybody else on a daily basis. I remember even on campus, once this dude from duncan projects came through pointing a gun at somebody because his boy was being harrassed. Good barbershop on that corner, but it depends on what style you want. Restaurants? lots of fast food...
i miss living in astoria , queens and even newark delaware
but jc isnt so bad to me in my view
but ok ive heard everything negative about the area,,,,now can u guys post ONLY positive little things to look forward to =)
Necro....there really isn't any positives to that area
Ok the park is nice in Summer but don't go there after dark
