Social Distancing in Queens
March 14, 2020
Whisking myself away for an abandoned mission in Queens, I wouldn’t have to worry about… other people. But I’d need a safe solo exploration–very easy at Fort Totten in Bayside, Queens. The grounds have a security booth since it contains a U.S. Coast Guard base, an active Army Reserve building, an EMS training center and tons of FDNY buildings. But there are still some great abandoned buildings on the old military base–free of vandals, easy to explore, and surrounded by the kind of upstanding folk that’d partake in the worthy causes above. So… I entered a few of those buildings. Here are the shots from the day, exhausting enough to keep me secured to the couch in quarantine the rest of the evening.
