Queens
I'll return to Manhattan in a few months, but now I want to spend some time in Queens -- specifically that part traversed by the number 7 elevated line. This is where I lived and played during my high school and college years: Long Island City, Elmhurst, Sunnyside, Jackson Heights, Flushing.
Now it's another continent. The # 7 line is basic transportation for each new wave of immigrants, mostly from Asia and Latin America, who populate this borough, and for yuppies, artists and others who can no longer afford Manhattan. (September 2007)
5-Points, Long Island City
