Volume 3 - Invading Jackson Heights

If you have been in New York for long enough, you've probably heard one of the semi-true urban legends about the city. (You can ride the six past the original City Hall Station. Steve Brodie never jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge. Rudy Giuliani planned September Eleventh to get back at his half-cousin/ex-wife for painting a portrait of Mary out of Cow dung.)

One of my favoites is this: Queens is the most ethnically diverse place on the planet. A variant of this has it that Jackson Heights, Zip Code 11372, is the most diverse neighborhood in the world.

So for round 3 of the Grab Bag we are going to combine the in-the-street assignments of Vol 1 and the overarching topic of Vol 2 for a one-neighborhood free-for-all. We are invading Jackson Heights!

You know how this works. We want stories. Show us the weirdos, the one of a kinds, the transplants, the nativists. Tell us about the train or the first Garden City Development.

The whole world is fair game.

Buying memory cards is such a time consuming process... You have to Google prices, filter through which ones are genuine, go out to a bunch of stores,compare prices, finally buy your memory, and then constantly pray that the price doesn't fall in the next two weeks or so.

I've been done in by crazy price changes in the past... especially this one time when I bought a Micro SD card for my DS flashcard at what I thought was a steal, only to later see that it had dropped $5 in a week.
