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 reason for peace and tranquility - no foreigners/minorities. A peaceful quite enclave.

Hard to disagree with that one. Take that same picture and there would be garbage all over the ground.
That's when Queens was nice. Now we have third world trash all living here. Those days are long gone.
White people use 3rd worlders/uncivilized people as new age slave labor and complain when you get all that comes with these people.
Greek/Italian restaurant owners the some of the biggest hypocrites in regards to the "illegal/immigration" etc... situation.
I can see John Gotti rubbing oil on his belly.
isn't starbucks there now?
and back then,the italians were considered old world trash.you commenters need to stop trashing other races.I lived in that part of town growing up,and the (white)people can be as vile as any gangbanger in east new york.
if anything,because of the new makeup of these parts of towns,every chain mall store(gap,starbucks,friggin cold stone)have opened up there.if there is something to be nostalgic about,its the fact there are no local resident businesses there anymore.

Which would be hilarious considering Howard Beach is still 90% white, no foreigner/minorities.
But tell us more about how THEY'RE the problem.
BTW, there's a bank there now.
Yes, it's still white, and still 90% cleaner than the rest of Queens. Your point?
Check the numbers, Howard Beach in total is 77% white and 17% Hispanic. The Lindenwood part of Howard Beach where the swim club was is 63% white and 27% Hispanic.
