“A Brief Look At Flushing”
The last stop on the 7 Train train is Flushing-Main Street. As you leave the station, you’ll see the brightly colored signs in the languages of the Far East and their sights and sounds. Walking north, Flushing becomes more Greek, Italian and another type of Asian: Indian. Near the East, Kissena Boulevard is home to an enclave of Afghans. However, Flushing is more than Asian, Indian, Greek and Afghan. The parts make the whole, and Flushing is a touchstone to immigration in New York City. Immigrants affect its economy, shape its politics and transform the Flushing society. Despite these changes, Flushing has remained singularly unaltered in one aspect since its founding in the 17th century: it is a home for immigrants of all ethnicities, colors and faiths.
