are you kidding me? Queens, on its own, with two major airports plus everything else - is probably bigger then most US cities.

I'm a big fan of Queens, always have been.

And, as I posted earlier, I've had no problems making or receiving cell calls to or from folks there at all.

Growing up in Queens, with two million other people, before Geraldine Ferraro, I was used to folks from Utica or Fort Lee looking at you quizzically when you said you were from Queens, which only had three times the population of Boston. For the most part, people from Queens used to refer to themselves as being from the "town" in Queens they were from, e.g., Rego Park or Forest Hills.

Geraldine Ferraro put Queens on the map, as it were. The MSM had to find a way to describe her besides a housewife from tony Forest Hills, so she was dubbed a housewife from Queens, with a backdrop shot of a grimy elevated subway somewhere in South Ozone Park.
