"An heroic effort to beautify one of the town's seediest back alleys.
But it didn't take long for delivery scooters to crap up the view." - The Flushing Phantom

No matter what they do with it, it'll always reek of 2-day-old fish.
Are those scooters up to city code?
Personally, I think these murals are an insult to the neighborhood. Remember Mr. Rogers' operas? They reeked to high heaven - because kids, presumably, didn't know any better.
It looks like John Choe, executive director of "One Flushing", has cooked himself up quite a nice job after he left (or was booted) from John Liu's employ.
It'll take more than one flush (or "One Flushing") to clean up this filthy town.
It looks like "One Flushing" is repeating most of the moves that were supposed to improve or beautify Flushing decades ago.
It didn't work then. It won't work now.
To quote the illustrious Wellington Z. Chen, in his curt comment to the news media ...
"Flushing is a crappy little Chinatown".
But our hats are off to Choe, for making a living off of this all.
Oh...
I see this very politically correct mural depicts the
"diversity " theme, once again...bustling, vibrant and diverse Floo-shing.
What was its cost? Lady Pink does not come cheap.
"Can't we all get along"? Let's all play together in peace and harmony. "What a wonderful day in the neighborhood".
I love the reek of two day old fish in the morning!
It's colorful,
and it surely beats the crap that was there before.
Creating art is the ultimate statement of hope!
Still, a daily wash with Pinesol could improve Flushing further.
PHEW! The merchants on that street are pigs!
Has anybody figured out what that yellowish stinky liquid on the street is? It ain't just water.
In lieu of action from the pols, you get a mural.
Calling Peter Koo! Forget him. He's out to lunch!
Has anyone noticed the pretty hanging flower baskets on some of the street poles in downtown Flushing?
That's exactly my point.
Who'd notice them amidst the clamor and clutter.
WTF is the Flushing BID doing?
Flushing looks like a S**thole in general. I don't even know why housing prices in certain areas of Flushing are so high! I mean who wants to live around the smell of fish and garbage, not to mention the people who drive in that area are terrible drivers!! No mural can cover up such a disgusting site as Flushing!!
To quote the illustrious Wellington Z. Chen, in his curt comment to the news media ...
"Flushing is a crappy little Chinatown".
Yes...I agree with this!!
Bayside is going to be the next Flushing!! Have you seen it lately? The illegals crap in the bushes next to the mcdonalds on Northern Blvd!! I know this because my father talks to the Mcdonalds employees!!
Don't you know that an area greater 100 sq feet without clutter or obstruction is illegal in Flushing?
Reminds me of Olongapo City in the PI back in the 70's.
"It's colorful"
Looks like the same so called "rattle can art" one could find all over Coney Island in the 70s
It will look even better once it gets coated with a nice sheen of fish juice and deliveryman spit.
Yeah a beautiful mural, unfortunately it does nothing to improve the mass of Chinese gambling addicts blocking the street with their curbside bus or the ocassional bums or other characters you have to walk around as you go up into that platform's only entrance.
Once I had to skip it completely because an army of rats had taken over the staircase... hundreds of them.
My phone at the time didn't have a flash or I would have taken a picture. That block stinks, and a lot more needs to be done to improve it.
