Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt

The Trylon Theater in Forest Hills had a far better art deco pedigree than the paling Metro.
But, alas, it's located in
Katz's litter box.
So she sold out the community by allowing it to fall into the hands of that Bukharian cossack Kassiev
who swooped down from the Russian steps and sacked it like a true barbarian!
The landmark law should be overturned.
The rug should be pulled out from under the feet of the mainline preservation community.
Maybe when they join us on the floor we can all stare at the ceiling.
Amen!
Repeal the landmarks law
and bring demolition democracy
home to roost in Manhattan!
Whats good for the goose is good for the gander!
Again, Bukharians are not Russians. They are Uzbek Jews.
Just because you speak english, you must be English.
Actually, my friend is Bukharian and she is from Kazakhstan.
Bukhara is a major city in Uzbekistan. Perhaps she was born there, or had ancestors there at one point, hence the identification?
Scratch an Usbek and you'll find a severe backward, inbred, Soviet barbarian!
Russkie/mobskie/puskie/usbekskie....
all cut from the same cloth!
The Caucusus mountain range
keeps them as isolated from the 21st century as the sheep they herd!
