First of all, most of the killings and crimes that are occurring daily are done to and by people who are out closer to sunrise. Second, I grew up not far from Queensbridge and that complex has always (more than 60+ years) been a breeding ground for crime. You would think after all of these generations of people living there, SOMEBODY would say enough. Guess not.

City officials, elected leaders, developers and community members gathered at the location of a formerly vacant illegal dumping ground on Beach 44th Street Wednesday to cut the ribbon at the new 35-acre Arverne East Nature Preserve and Welcome Center along the Rockaway waterfront in Edgemere.
