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

must you?
I'm curious - will these "snipets" of "everyday life" in Sunnyside be inclusive of "everyday life" of 2nd and 3rd generation (etc.) Americans or is this going to be yet ANOTHER bunch of collective short stories highlighting the struggles of the "poor immigrant"?
are there any 2nd or 3rd generation Americans left in Sunnyside? just kidding, I know there are but a small minority. most people move out of the area as soon as they can afford it.
Oh, aren't we so quick to judge and to jump to conclusions...

You could say that about the rest of the country, too.
Then they end up living next to some golf course in redneck country with a bunch of neighbors from Cleveland and jumping into the car for a 15 minute ride for some milk.
