Main Street is so dirty and creepy and Third World now!

It used to be an adventure to go there and shop at Gertz and Alexander's. And buy used jeans at Diskin's (I think that was the name).

Now it's all gone.

So sad...

Get out of Queens now!! I repeat, it's turned into a slum..all those yucky people, Flushing is lost, seal the borders & run for your lives!!

DISKINS!!! Good ole Diskins for WORN and "fashionably ripped" jeans. My mother was FURIOUS when I brought home a pair!

I shopped in Ronnie's - there was also a men's store between Peck's and Masters - can you remember the name of that store. It was very MOD at that time. I've been trying to remember the name.

Wasn't it owned by the person who owned Danbury Hats . . . ?

I'd give anything to go shopping on Main Street again, but I can't ready any of the signs; no English is written or spoken there.

Bad accident just occurred on Utopia and 47th by the music store, mother and daughter, both Asian cross the street between cars without looking, Korean women hit them both. Where the hell do they learn to drive and who for heaven's sake gives them insurance. Flushing is a cess pool, its dirty, disgusting and no one speaks English. Anon 3 is right, move out now while you still can !!!!!!

Sad to see that post start off with the RKO theater STILL sitting there and decaying after all of these years. This is truly a testament of how WORTHLESS Queens politicians really are.

Amongst the photos shown are real gems of architecture but you would never now it now with the garish Chinese signs obscuring everything and not by accident I may add. It's all done on purpose to eradicate American history.

NON-ENGLISH SIGNS SHOULD ALWAYS BE ILLEGAL IN THIS COUNTRY. OUR NATIONAL LANGUAGE IS ENGLISH.

LET'S ALL CALL OUR SPINELESS CONGRESSMEN WHO ALLOW THIS TO CONTINUE AND DEMAND THEY FOLLOW NATIONAL NORMS, CUSTOMS, AND LAWS.

BAN THESE NON-ENGLISH SIGNS NOW AND MAKE THE A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

Melting pot my ass!

In the words of Wellington Chen (as printed in the local press) Flushing is a, "....Crappy little Chinatown"!

And that's one of their own speaking so you phony ass pols, etc. , can't accuse him of being "anti Asian"!!

Maybe C.M. Peter Cuckoo can change it (LOL)!

Yeah he and his and his butt buddy Mike Lee.

And who's on whose ass these days...
Chen on Meyers or Meyers on Chen?
