A hair cut, and $15,600
The southwest corner at Main and Roosevelt in Flushing.
Two of the four corners at the intersection of Main and Roosevelt in Flushing is saturated with Chinese holding signs, wear loud speaker phones and passing out flyers, hacking the $15,600 (just google nys $15,600 to learn what it’s) New York State $2.1 billion aid payment to undocumented workers. The above photo shows a sign poster in Chinese, left to the two ladies reads, “Aid payment $15,600 the cheapest in town”. May I safely assume that the person/group who is soliciting applicants, takes a cut out of the $15,600?
It’s the second day at the US Open and I’ve hair cut with 阿莲 at 136-14 and a few soup dumplings – xiaolongbao for lunch ($6 for six and it’s pretty yummy) before heading there. I parked at Skyview and walked on the Roosevelt Ave – the bridge/pathway under the #7 subway train, which when it passes above you, it was like an earthquake.
Who has reclaimed this piece of land?
I couldn’t wait till the area east of Citifield (Seaver Way between Roosevelt Ave and Northern Blvd) is being revitalized. Maybe a shopping mall, with hotels, shops and restaurants, catering to the locals as well as musical shows, events, US Open, and not to mention the summer long NY Mets. It’s an eyesore for ages.
