Working on land, it’s easier than working on high waves in the sea. I think you’re working on the land to report details on progress, or maybe you secretly write a report on a warship. (Hello New York YIMBY)
Downtown Flushing has been destroyed, ever since the RKO Keith’s was decimated. I avoid it at all costs, now CP Blvd is going to be even worse. Getting around Flushing, even using the stupid SBS buses is ridiculous. Another neighborhood worth avoiding. When I tell people where I live, I say Flushing, like the toilet. And that’s what is has become a toilet!
