Each talk is about 20-25 minutes, and there is a brief Q&A afterwards. The event is free, but a one drink or food purchase is requested for use of the space.

Jackson Heights of Yesteryear / Looking for old-timers to interview
« on: September 15, 2017, 01:06:25 PM »
hello,

I am looking for long time residents of Jackson Heights to interview for an art project, funded by the Queens Council on the Arts. I am creating a series of drawings which combine excerpts from interviews with architectural drawings of facades in the neighborhood.

See this link for some examples: http://www.lindaganjian.net/upcoming

I am looking for older residents of Jackson Heights to share their memories and impressions of the neighborhood. The excerpts are presented anonymously in the artwork. I record the interviews on my phone for my records, but I can also share a copy with you, and with your permission, I can also submit to the Queens oral history project through the library.

Feel free to contact me if interested.

-Linda

Neighborhood Chat / Oral histories of Jackson Heights residents?
« on: October 13, 2016, 02:48:09 PM »
Hi everyone, I know this is kind of random, but does anyone know of any oral histories that have been conducted of Jackson Heights residents. I am particularly interested in older residents and immigrants. Any books or other resources? I've looked online but haven't found anything. This is for an art project I'm developing.
Thanks in advance,
Linda

Neighborhood Chat / Police Trap Last Night on 82nd
« on: May 13, 2009, 11:26:27 AM »
hello fellow JHers,

Last night I was walking home from the subway around 8 pm on 82nd street, and came across a suspicious site. Next to Burger King there was an abandoned stroller with a purse sitting on top of it. Visible was a cellphone, and some 20's tucked into the pocket of the purse. I looked and asked around for a minute to see if it belonged to someone nearby and nobody appeared. Thinking the purse may have been stolen and dumped (though it still had cash) or just lost, I picked it up and started looking for ID, so that I could contact the owner.

A minute later a plain-clothes policeman approaches me and basically threatens to arrest me. I tell him emphatically that I was searching for ID (as I'm sure he was watching me, it's clear that I haven't pocketed anything form the purse).  I hand him the purse and startled and upset, I go on my way.

Does anyone know anything about this disturbing police tactic???? My guess is that it is a way of trapping illegal immigrants???

thanks!

Community Trade and Classifieds / anywhere to donate used stuff in JH?
« on: November 07, 2007, 09:22:45 PM »
Hello,

Does anyone happen to know where I could donate some used books and clothing in the neighborhood?

(The Salvation Army down the street from me on 35th Ave. has a big sign that reads "No more clothes!")

thanks!
