    I miss Jackson Heights everyday...85 th street was my home base...but the whole world was my neighborhood....the 7 train was a half a block east of me, straight to Times Square....it's a dream life for us regular people...at the time I was paying 1600 a month for a small 1 bedroom...who knows what it costs now...if it gets gentrified...NY will lose the most vibrant, important neighborhood in this entire country...Protect Jackson Heights...it is the last unicorn in the city.

    I grew up in Jackson Heights when we left Cuba. It was 1966 and it was predominantly Irish-Italian, Cuban, some Puerto Ricans, Polish, Greeks, Italians. The Dominicans trickled in at around 1970. Pakistaníes and Indians arrived around 1979 and started buying up 74 St. Koreans and Chinese arrived in 1980 with suitcases full of cash. Soon, the Colombians took over everything around 1982. The the Cartel Wars started between the Medellin Cartel and the Cali Cartel. That lasted even after the Cartels fell in the early 90’s.

    Visited NY, Brooklyn, in 2016 when my female cousin had a retirement part after working for New York education system(teacher, then teacher trainer). Went twice before... don't laugh.. in early 70's, like 7, 8 yrs old. Once on plane, got sick, and last time on Amtrak. What really surprised me was all of the eating places that are abound. I mean so many next door and right across from each other... I wondered how do they make any money with so many other eateries around. Then I thought, New York has many many many people. :)

    There's only two major ethnic groups here, Asian and Hispanic. How is that diverse? Since moving here about a month ago, I have seen few Caucasian, and even fewer black residents. "Melting Pot"? Hardly.
    Regardless, it's a great neighborhood, and the best I've ever lived in here in New York. My only complaint is not being welcomed into businesses where I spend my money. Maybe it's a cultural thing, but I'm used to a smile and friendly greeting when I enter a shop.
