The Queens Times?

These captioned photos were printed in the Queens Times this past week. It's about the mayor of Hoboken meeting some people who aren't from Queens at a place somewhere outside of NYC. How's that for expanded local coverage?

Hey....covering the visit of Italian dignitaries to Hoboken (the sacred birthplace of Frank Sinatra) might have some "connections" to the "interests" of Howard Beach or Ozone Park !

These newspapers are run as personal kingdoms and are not intented to convey serious news.

My favorite in one is the 'Boomers Plus' where 80-year-olds talk about their vacation spots ... while serious news goes un reported.

Queens deserves better.

Queens Times is based in Corona and represents the elderly Italian enclave around the Ice King.

Which must constitute 6 elderly widows. The neighborhood around Spaghetti Park ceased having an Italian dominated populace over two decades ago. (residential, not necessarily commercial).

Ah yes, Corona!...remember folks when Mario Cuomo got his start representing the Italian homeowners in Corona when the city wanted to "eminent domain" them?
