The neighborhood I will be focusing on is Fresh Meadows, which is an area in Queens right above Flushing and below Jamaica/Hillside. I have been living in Fresh Meadows for quite a while now (7 or 8 years). I will be writing about the history/gentrification of Fresh Meadows which started in the early 1600s by the Dutch people. I will also mention how this neighborhood became (from a Dutch neighborhood) a veteran haven, and then finally a neighborhood of diverse culture and ethnic families. In addition, I will be focusing on the reconstruction and construction of new homes and its ties to young/new families moving in.

Where did you live beforehand? Sounds interesting how it was once so Dutch and now has become regarded as a neighborhood with many different cultures. I also think it will be interesting to focus on the new generation moving in and their cultural ties.
