Another gem in Flushing Meadows, this one being bronze: Rocket Thrower.

Its sculptor, Donald De Lue, was among a few other artists commissioned to create sculptures for the 1964-65 World’s Fair. Thanks to Lisa, we have a beautiful photo of the statue with a glimpse of the Unisphere and and the New York State Pavilion in the background.

No plans tonight? Heart of Queens is headed to Taste of Bayside at the Adria Hotel on Northern Blvd. Lots of great vendors there, so we are going to check it out. You should come too!
