My dad lived in the Queens when he was a new immigrant. My younger sister ended up moving there for a few years after college... my dad was never able to wrap his mind around that either. He was always like, but I worked to get out of there, why do you want to go back!

Queens is awesome. Rey and I like to go there exploring. Like this weekend, we were supposed to go on a trip to Boston, but since I'm too busy, I'll probably try to squeeze in 6 or 7 hours in Queens instead. It's like effing Epcot Center but cheap over there.

yup, thats the typical model of gentrification...parents move out of the city to the suburbs, kids move back in!! its the cool thing to do =)

the city has changed so much since around the time when your dad probably moved...im sure he doesnt know how nice many parts of queens and bk have become

Although, maybe ironically for your dad, Queens is probably more expensive now than some nice parts of Jersey.

Some part of Queens are more expensive now than some parts of Jersey, this is true. The "nice" parts of Jersey are way nicer, though, especially if you dislike urban living and want a big lot with deer :P

the city has changed so much since around the time when your dad probably moved...im sure he doesnt know how nice many parts of queens and bk have become

He knows. He just doesn't think it's nice. He likes the suburbs. He likes it quiet and boring.

::There’s a laugh in my eyes::

There’s a waltz in my walk

And it’s been such a long time

Since there was hope in my talk

If you never knew

What it is that’s new.. it’s you

‘Cause when your hands are in mine

You set a fire that everyone can see

And it’s burning away

Every bad memory

To tell you the truth

If it’s something new.. baby it’s you

It’s you in the morning

It’s you in the night

A beautiful angel came down

To light up my life

The world’s a different place

Where nothing’s too hard to say

And nothing’s too hard to do

Never too much to go through

To tell you the truth

Everything that’s new.. baby it’s you

It’s you in the morning

It’s you in the night

A beautiful angel came down

To light up my life

My life, my life

Ohh

So if I get to grow old (oh if I get to grow old)

With many years behind me (many years behind me)

There’s only one thing I want (aahh)

One thing I need beside me

For all that you are

For everything you do

For all that you’ve done

Just for showing me the truth

::It’s you...It’s you...Baby it’s you::

I guess I feel more for my country than my state. The only reason I know that is if I was required to relinquish being a Hoosier, I would in one red hot second. However, if I were required to renounce my US citizenship, I would be very reluctant to. However, I am not sure how deep my love runs for either. I didn't come back because I was homesick.
