FACTORY TOWN
Some photos from today's walk around the neighborhood:

College Point, Queens was built up by the German rubber barons Kleinert and Poppenhusen in the mid-1800s. Note the lettering on this warehouse below the cancer ray emanators.

The mailboxes tell you where to get blowjobs.

This awful development was built around the corner on vacant waterfront land formerly called "the dumps." Only Asians live here--a new racial mystery is added to the fabric of New York.

The Parks Department added some new trees to the park where I spent my entire adolescense avoiding people and thinking.

The view up 14th Rd. St. Fidelis (pronounced SAYNT FIDEYLIS) church, where I was baptised, confirmed, and everything else stands in the background.

Hi, I found these photos by Googling "college point factory town." I didn't think I would find anything but did. I'm surprised. Obviously, like you, I've spent some time in the neighborhood, too.
