Blissville is the small pocket between Calvary Cemetery, the Long Island Expressway and Newtown Creek, named for Neziah Bliss, who owned most of the land in the 1830s and '40s. It shares ZIP 11101 with the rest of Long Island City, though city planners map it inside Sunnyside. It is about 1.3 miles from our shop in a straight line but about 2.2 miles by road, because the rail yards and the expressway force a detour.
The housing is mostly houses and small multifamily buildings among industrial lots, not towers. That means owner-occupied homes with a practical list: doors that stick, weatherstripping before winter, grab bars, a shelf, a caulk line that has let go.
