Long Island City, NY August 7, 2012 - The National Night Out Against Crime was celebrated by the Long Island City and Astoria communities at Andrews Playground in LIC, and at Astoria Park in Astoria. Community participation was high. This is a slice of America at its best...with the community coming together to show support and appreciation for the brave men and women of the NYPD and the Community Councils.
