De Niro and Astoria: Unbeatable combination
rkhuzami Hollywood East Coast “Astoria” has a new film studio in the works! And an early investor is Robert De Niro.
This is also an example how an investment by the city and state in an industry can lead to benefits the whole community can enjoy, contrary to some who view these investments negatively………
While there are some issues, such as parking, that need to be addressed to provide the quality of life we all should enjoy, all in all the economic and cultural benefits are well worth the investment, and OANA applauds this addition to our community.
