Shadow Shot Sunday

Another forbidden shot (we were about

to come in for a landing). Sorry—not. 

 This is the Unisphere , which has

been here since the 1964 World's Fair.

[See more Shadow Shots here.]

Asia?

No, Flushing—which is in the borough of Queens.

Used to live there and still go back to see friends

and eat the best dim sum.  Flushing was the site

of two World Fairs ('39–'40 and '64–'65) and is

home to Shea Stadium, where the Mets play.

Currently it's also known for having the largest

concentration of Asian-Americans—99% of the

Asian-Americans who live in Queens live here.

Gung hei, May & Eddie!

Okay, it's not the best picture and I don't

know May and Eddie, but I couldn't resist. Had

some fabulous dim sum at this place today,

and the sign was still there from M and E's

wedding yesterday. I heard that tens of

thousands of Chinese couples wanted

to get married on 8/8/08.
