Well, finally something took over the former Caldor site here in downtown Flushing. Was it worth the wait? I say NO. Unfortunately like so many other stores in this area it caters to the Asian population. Not much there for anyone else.
Over the next few years it is projected that more retail space will be built here. If this New World Mall is an example of what is to come, it makes me sad. What will it take to get through to store owners, community leaders and elected officials, that this is a diverse community? Or better yet, do they care?
Some of us have worked hard to try to unite this community. It’s clear we have failed. It’s also pretty clear that some in this community do not want to unite.
