Newspaper blast from the past


Article is from Daily Star, January 19, 1931.

I'm not really sure what the purpose of it is, but it sure is interesting.

So, now you have to "put up" with people looking out for the good of their communities. How horrendous! Maybe everyone in Queens should just walk around oblivious and scream out vibrant and diverse every chance they get. Just like the politicians do and you seem to want to.

This reads almost like a modern day newspaper editorial about proposed new development.

"hideous brick two family homes" today are now hideous shitty third world 3-4 story apartment buildings with rusted balconies used as storage, Fedder air conditioners, paved cement and at least 20 vibrant and diverse families living in crap.

Now put up with that asshole anon #1.

Then, as now, snobbery against the outer boroughs from a superior-thinking Manhattanite.

Snobbery from a Manhattanite toward the outer boroughs. I guess that hasn't changed in 80 years.

Hey anon #1 - There should be a space after your commas, not before and a space after each period.

Bad Grammar = No Validity!

It's hard to hear your message with so many grammar mistakes!
