There’s a crane or two that also inhabit this pond. Has anyone heard any word if they were shanghaied along with the geese?

Yes, definitely Tilley Park. As mentioned previously, Jamaica High School is in the background. Eons ago, we used to call the park “Goose Pond.”

Agreed. Jamaica H.S. was recently landmarked. Now all the “old town” H.S. (Flushing, Newtown, Jamaica) are landmarked, Even tho they are not the original buildings they are in impressive settngs.
