Given how late this is coming out, I’d say it’s more like the police are “allegedly” looking for them.

They need to do what those vile terrorists do. Take thief and slice hand off in front of public square.

Woodside was ruined when the drug cartels came to queens. The freedom flotilla that came from Cuba was another disaster for America. It’s all over. The place is ruined. How familiar have these stories become . It’s no joke and I’m not trying to insult any group of people. But, the stories are practically identical week by week

Landlord – The fact we are discussing just a purse lifting and not an asault, armed robbery or other violent incident speaks volumes about crime in Woodside.

Actually, Cuban migration has been the most successful amongst Latinos and they have positively contributed to the Tri-State area along with South Florida. If you are talking about the Mariel boat lift, where Castro emptied his jails, then sure some bad apples came. Many immigration groups have brought over waves of crime, Italians and Irish included.

I still see women being stupid when it comes to their personal belongings in Sunnyside and Woodside. They STILL leave their purses in the top part of the shopping carts and walk halfway down the aisle for God knows what like they live next door to Beaver Cleaver!!!

Can Queens’ food scene thrive with both trucks and restaurants?

In Jackson Heights at 4 p.m. on a Thursday afternoon, Roosevelt Avenue is buzzing with energy as commuters file in and out of subway cars and onto the street and cars and trucks grapple to get down the busy road. The street is filled with rows of shops and restaurants, along with food carts, street vendors and food trucks along the avenue. The almost-but-not-quite the weekend lag leaves hungry commuters faced with another choice to make throughout their day and the array of food truck options in busy areas like Jackson Heights offers customers convenience and delicious food without breaking the bank, two features that can feel vital, particularly with rising costs of living and pressure from inflation.
