I die a little when I look at old photos of it. Might have been the apex of the idea of the Sinful Big City, but it had grit and character. You won't find much of either around the island now, except in a few isolated pockets that the developers haven't felt was worth their while to 'pretty up'...yet. girl, i live in queens, work in the Bronx and have to use manhattan to get from one place to another. i know. there are still some historical places that just scream: 23 DOLLARS WORTH OF BAUBLES! [yeah, that's the price of manhattan island!] Good old Queens, my immortal birthplace. I was just looking up some photos of Flushing Meadows online the other day, after catching some pics of folks splashing around in the Unisphere during the heat wave. Misted up seeing the Queens Museum of Art, my parents used to take me there as a kid and I developed a lifelong love of the arts as a result. Lucky you! |
