John Rocker, is that you?
I left New York 45 years ago, and things have changed. Roosevelt Avenue was a little gritty, but there was no prostitution or other unsavory activity. I remember the TV series the King of Queens (which I very rarely watched) had a little shot of the Ice Queen of Corona in the opening sequence. I always thought that that place was the hidden gem of Queens.
No- i take the 7train to Mets games all the time, unlike Rocker.....its actually safer to be on the 7 train then on Roosevelt Ave itself
