I should probably Google it each time I go out. I was born in Queens and lived within biking distance of the 64-65 World's Fair, so it's a comfortable place for me. My "range" as a teenager was Flushing Meadow to Alley Pond, but not much north or south. My wife co-wrote a book about Fresh Meadows and is on a bunch of Facebook groups related to local history - probably should get you two connected.

Planning Mass Park ride after work tomorrow, bringing the 9FS in my trunk.
