๐ The Scoop
True stories and vintage photos of this bustling New York City borough, covering everything from crime and corruption to a beloved Christmas poem.
ย
Queens has a history filled with fascinating firsts, cool characters and ramshackle ruins. From the nationโs first modern highway to the first-ever transatlantic flight, the borough has long been at the forefront of modern transportation. Poet Clement Clarke Moore was inspired by childhood memories of Elmhurst when he wrote the poem โโTwas the Night before Christmas.โ The infamous William โBossโ Tweed once fled jail to a secret hideout in a Bayside hotel. The remains of the old Creedmoor Hospital complex in Queens Village are haunting, as are the eerie remnants of Fort Tilden in the Rockaways. In this fascinating book, Richard Panchyk reveals glimpses of the hidden history of Queens.
