Flushing
Created | Updated Jul 13, 2005
In the mythical world of New York City there lies a borough known as Queens. Within that borough there are many sections. However none come close to the splendour of Flushing.
Flushing itself is so big that there are different sections to it. The most renowned one is the sort of "downtown" part where the famed #7 train runs. Along that line you encounter every ethnic group on the face of the planet. You pass Shea Stadium and come near the airport. However that is not where I live.
I live in the other part of Flushing that would more correctly be called Kew Gardens Hills. But noone here calls it that. I live right across the street from Queens College, a pretty hilled campus school. Sadly, I do not go there. I live in Pomonok, the projects. No I do not live in the ghetto. But it is sort of becoming the ghetto, swiftly, what with the nice bullet proof doors. The stores on my nice street of Kissena Blvd include National Wholesale Liquidators (kind of like k mart or walmart, just much much worse), petland discounts (where I used to work), pizza hut, two laundromats, a check cashing place, a liquor store, hallmark, mcdonalds, wendy's, my junior high school, my elementary school, and two clothing stores. And a store that sells really awesomely cheap cds. I frequent that place a lot. Further down the road between here and Forest Hills (which you can read about as well) there is the famous and quite lovely Flushing Meadow park. I wish I had pictures of all of this to put on here, but I don't.
