A couple of months ago, a dear friend of mine purchased a DSLR camera — her first! — and she’s been playing with it pretty hardcore since then. So the other day, we decided to go out and shoot around town. The first stop of the day was the Wellington Court Mural Project in Astoria. Of course, I had my Canon 6D Mark II with me. Photos…

Christopher Walken, right, then known as Ronnie Walken, and his brother Glenn rolling out dough in their father's bakery in Astoria, ca. 1955. Both young Walkens were child actors, appearing in early TV soap operas such as The Guiding Light and The Secret Storm.

Paul and Rosalie Walken opened their bakery on 29th St. & Broadway in 1931, and the business thrived for several decades. Paul came from a family of German bakers, and most of the bakery's employees spoke German. One of them, in the early 1960s, was Lidia Bastianich, who years later became a celebrity chef. Her family, Italian refugees, lived across the street from the bakery.

The Walkens and their three sons, Kenneth, Ronald, and Glenn, lived in a five-story apartment house near the bakery at 30-83 29th St.  They later bought a house in Bayside. Rosalie Walken lived there until she passed away in 2010, at the age of 104.

Another batch of Lovestruck commissions. ✨

These took awhile for me to complete so there was a bit of... art style change in Astoria and Castaway.
