From the Daily News:Fred Cantor, 59, a retired attorney who grew up in Fresh Meadows, said Queens has become the city’s Rodney Dangerfield.
“The borough gets no respect,” he said. “I always felt that it played second fiddle to Brooklyn even though Queens is a cool place, too.”
He’s looking to change that.
This week Cantor began making baseball caps that read “Queens = Qool” with the hopes of altering people’s perception of the borough.
He’s also looking to help his hometown with profits made from the hats.
For every $21.90 cap he sells, $2.00 will be going to the Queens Library Foundation, which raises money to support free programs offered through the Queens Library, said Cantor, who now lives in Connecticut.
Maybe it gets no respect because the people who claim to love it move out of the borough/city/state. And who is going to wear that corny cap, anyway?
