Welcome to our world, part 1

Yawn!...... This happens in Queens everyday but in Manhattan it gets major media attention!

This tableaux does, however, inspire a "film noir "title, "The Big Squeeze"!

Cool! Queens comes to Manhattan. Add some cheap fixtures, gaudy detail and it becomes a typical Queens human warehouse, but with an added advantage: the staff can WALK to work!!!

What a great idea! Let us encourage more of this. EVERY neighbhorhood should share in the glorious wealth forced on Queens.

Sounds great to me too. Maybe they can run ads in Ackerman's Tribune.

Ackerman lives in posh Jamaica Estates.

What the hell does he care about the rest of us "sweat-hogs"....he's got it made!

He can afford "Charmin". Do you think he'd use the Trib to wipe his bum?
