(played by Jack Nicholson) in the movie
of the same name,

"Forget it Jake.....it's Chinatown" !

Too bad the filth and stench
that one encounters proceeding this stretch
of hodge-podge "beauties"
cannot be conveyed through current technology.

There is also an abundance
of imported "machine" votes
crammed into this "bustling"little block......
just a portion of Liu's lair!

I propose building a mini "Great Wall"
around the downtown Flushing area
and promote it as a tourist attraction.

Bring in the Disney group to clean up the filth
and run it as a theme park in conjunction with the Willets Point redux!

One from column A
and two from column B.......

the "happy family" special
of what passes around here as architecture !

Can't wait to see what else
is on the up and coming menu!

Maybe the local movers and shakers went to a boot camp for community boards run by CB1 to learn their craft.

Disney cleaning up the filth??! get real. Disney and all those stupid corporate America have basically white-washed Manhattan. If you ever bother strolling down any street in Manhattan these days, its full of rich white yuppies who likes to shop at Tiffanys, Macys, Bloomingdales, Targets...etc, etc. Who wants that kinda of crap in Queens?

There is no Whitetown because most of the United States is Whitetown.

I'll take Disney
over the Flushing Chamber of Commerce,
the Flushing Chinese Business Association,
(John Liu's stooge) Mabel Law
and her Flushing Business "Improvement" District
(or any of the other boondoggle organizations that are ruining this town) any day.

"White wash" is better than that stinking liquified gray/yellow/green mystery street scum
that runs into the sewers on a hot August day.

Only in a low class 3rd world city
would these kind of conditions be tolerated.
What's Mabel Law's salary for doing a crappy job?

The proof of the pudding is in the stench!
