My mom is also from Queens. Rockaway Beach to be specific. A plane crashed into her old neighborhood in 2001 (no, not 9/11) and destroyed it.

Queens is really big. 108.1 mi² according to Google. There is a lot of bad and there is a lot of good about Queens.

One thing I liked is that there is a long history of shooting films there going back to the 1920s and there’s still a studio there. Inside is also the Museum of the Moving Image. I never got a chance to go any of the times I went to New York:

There’s also Flushing Meadows, which is a great park. It’s where the 1939 World’s Fair was held.

And, of course, even though her neighborhood is gone, the beach is still there.
