So I been in Queens, NY for a month now...[Random Observations]

[Kliq_Souf]

Moving from Philly to NY, I didnt think would be a big cultural difference, but goddamn
Im staying in Jamaica, Queens, but I want to live farther north soon, maybe Flushing or Elmhurst.

- NY'ers aint soft. I aint seen no violence, no fights, not even a gun, but I can tell niccas aint suckas.

- Nikkas think my Philly accent is "country"

- So many cultures and diversity. Seems like whenever I see a brother, and say "wassup", breh responds in a crazy ass accent, either Jamaican/ African/ French/ some shyt i dont comprehend...
I cant hold a convo with them Jamaican niccas, breh.

- That E train is a journey

- Shyt is segragated as hell. I aint seen no white people at all in Jamaica, only black and Spanish. Flushing seems to be all Asian. Jackson Heights is Middle Eastern. Corona/ Elmhurst is Latin. All the cacs is in Astoria and LIC (expensive as hell).

- The ladies

- Seems like people not from Queens hate coming here. I told Brooklyn and Harlem people that I live in Queens and they do the

Damn u really outchea. U pretty much summed up the Queens Blvd train line

U can really tell a lot about neighborhoods just by riding trains through them.

 

[GatorStaceyAdams]

All very accurate observations.

My one co-worker lives in Astoria- not a bad little set up with some nice little hangout spots

If u really want to get a feel for that old NY.... ride the A train end to end.

Bonus points if u ride all the way out to Far Rockaway....... and make it back unscathed

Good. Whenever I see white people in Jamaica I get very . I work in Southside Jamaica and there are so many beautiful houses with lots of land that are really cheap. It's only a matter of time until Bayside and Fresh Meadows ain't enough and they want to gentrify that area as well.

Corona/Elmhurst/Jackson Heights are seeing an influx of yuppies since they realize that rent=cheaper and the 7 train will get you to the city in no time.

It's amazing walking down Roosevelt Avenue and seeing how shops just blend from one culture to another. The change is so smooth yet jarring at the same time.

there's white people in jamaica estates(other side of hillside) very nice houses too. Jamaica high school was actually some guys mansion he donated to the city. Think of how big your house has to be to be able to be turned into a high school. Also all along the Long Island borderline

If you think the E train is bad, Look at the A train and 5 train. Those are real journeys

Whats wrong with the Jamaicans bruh?

 

[HookersandIceCream]

Queens is amazing but getting more gentrified and expensive. They are trying to make LIC a new Williamsburg with luxury apts and hipster bars. Even the really cultural areas are seeing rapid development

I knew shyt was major when they took down the Wendys where Coming to Anerica was filmed for new condos

Ya. Mostly Jews on Hillside and around that St. Johns area. Million dollar houses and shyt. Really nice area, but I'd rather buy a house in the south

Nothing, they cool. But I aint used to being around them much. I mean Philly got em and Africans, but they deep round here.

Go to the junction area in brooklyn (Flatbush,Nostrand,Church Ave) you'll think you were really in jamaica
